Only a week to go now until the kick off of this years summer softball event. We already have 10 guests here and will, at its peak, have over 40 people sleeping here.The roof is progressing very well and yesterday, with the help of Jeremy, we managed to get the battening finished and I got the first few slates up. Today may well see more progress if I pull my finger out rather than sit around drinking beer all day.
On the growing front, there is good news and bad news. The tomatoes are suffering from blossom end rot, caused by lack of calcium and watering at night. As the tomato ripens, the lower half turns black and mouldy before the tomato is completely red. The mange tout have been an outstanding success but there starting to lose productivity now. The chillis and peppers are doing brilliantly and will be ready to pick soon.

Love the mowing lines in the grass for the soft ball pitch: both those andthe wooden battons (?) on the roof look like quilting lines! Have time!!
