Whippa Snapper.

My 2nd picking of Watkins Snap Peas - Whippa Snappa, were well ready yesterday and I was able to make a salad grown entirely by me.
 I am calling it my "less then 10 salad," because it was all growing less than 10 minutes from when it was eaten = fresh!
 2 types of lettuce grown from seedlings ( buttercrunch and red oak ) radish and the peas grown from seed. I find these peas better than snow peas for flavour. See in the top photo how fleshy the pod is. Just crunchy and yummy.

 Baby hedgehog , nicknamed Bogor is now resident in our garden . We see him on a daily basis, since R found him with probably heat exhaustion on the very hot afternoon recently. He gave him water and shade and protection. I wonder where Mother hedgehog is?
 Meanwhile he showed up at lunchtime yesterday so I gave him a little bit of finely chopped cooked chicken ( for want of anything more suitable ) . He scoffed it . I know NOT to give him milk.  I think I know where he is living, so am watching out for him.
