I’ve not done…

much plotting during the the past couple of weeks, and it’ll be the same again next week.

I’ve been bringing home plenty of strawberries as well as some raspberries on a few days.

Although there are plenty of the latter they are mostly rather small making picking difficult or not even worth bothering with.

 

There are already flowers appearing on two of the tomato plants, one each Outdoor Girl and Yellow Perfection. 

The onions Sturon are growing well, and some of the first early potatoes Foremost foliage is starting to die back so it won’t be long before I start lifting the first of them.

 

Small self-seeded cosmos are starting to flower.

I’ve not seen many butterflies so far,  but plenty of bees mostly on the blackberry flowers this morning. Also good, as always, to see the robin.

 

Have a good week, and take care!

  1. It is satisfying to be harvesting your berries and to see the prospect of potatoes to be dug soon and the tomatoes flowering. All that work paying off!

  2. The raspberries have a homely look about them. Your Cosmos is a proud flag bearer bloom. Do you usually have a good crop of the potatoes at this time of year?

  4. Well! While you haven’t done much plotting, the plot has a lot going on! Looks like your tomatoes are off to a good start. Shame the berries have been small. The last couple of batches of strawberries I purchased were exceptionally good.

    1. Nikki it sure has. They do indeed. It’s probably because they are very early this year. I’m not surprised, it’s been a good year for strawberries. xx

  5. It seems to have been a good year for strawberries, and with Wimbledon in a few weeks time I’m sure they will be enjoyed by the tennis fans and visitors.

    That cosmos is a lovely colour.

    Enjoy your week. All the best Jan
