Hello Puss...........glad to hear that your garden is growing on you :)

We have beetroot cooking as I "speak". Our Broad beans have been fantastic this year, sweet corn is coming along nicely.

Oh has been making strawberry jam , ( little strawberrys are perfect for jam ).

We are waiting for the blueberries to ripen , they are looking good.

Peppers and Aubergines in the greenhouse are starting to flower............now we need some lovely sunshine.............lol

~~~~~~ to other fellow gardeners.

Just preparing a sald with home-grown radish, lettuce, spring onions new potatoes and carrot...........mmmmmmm

Had our first lot of spinach on Sunday.

The tomatoes will soon be ready, bit late planting them this year.
