Oooh lovely. I didn't realise slugs don't like lavender. I've got tomatoes growing and I'm so excited!

I read it somewhere that lavender keeps slugs at bay, hope it works!
Good luck with the toms :)

Your harvest looks great - it is wonderful when everything starts to fruit and flower. Didn't know that about lavender either - My lavender hedge is at the front door and the veg round the back - hmm.
Loved the pictures of Charlie trying to climb into Daddy's case :)

It's addictive you know! You start off with a little patch, and then you look at all the bare bits of ground and think of what you veg you can grow, and then you end up eyeing up allotments...

Great looking beans. The more lavender the better, it's one of my favourites.
