A good week

This week has been sunny and very warm with the temperature reaching over 3o C/86F yesterday afternoon.  I’ve been going to the plot early, not doing very much when I’m there and not stopping anywhere near as long as I usually do.

Despite that it’s been a good week as I’ve started lifting the onions Sturon, and picking the first runner beans Jackpot along with plenty more blackberries and raspberries.

Looking under the cucumber leaves I found one which was about 6 in/15 cm long and little more than 1 in/2.5 cm diameter. I don’t know the variety but it felt and looked okay so I picked it, and I’m glad to say that it tastes fine.

At long last the first of the sunflowers has appeared.  It’s only around 4 ft/1.2 mt tall with a small dark centred yellow flower.

 

Have a good weekend, and take care!

  1. The plants have been waiting for this warm spell, like we have. Your harvest looks very good.
    My cultivated Daisy seeds have not produced a jot. The everyday ones keep appearing wherever they fancy. The daisy tin pot might be good for something else at some point.
    Have a good weekend Mr F. Xxx
