What's fruiting?

The strawberries have come on leaps and bounds in the last week or so... all of a sudden the plants have shot up; this was a couple of weeks ago...


... and this is today




Strawberries everywhere!! I also spotted a tiny cucumber or two making an appearance; these ones are passandra


I've got a good feeling about this season.

Busy busy busy...

Well, it's been go go go for the past couple of weekends in the garden... I finally feel like I have regained some type of order; the raised beds around the back have been weeded and are now planted up or sown with a variety of produce

 

 

Around the front, the first sowings of carrots and beetroot are coming along nicely (in spite of next door's cat thinking the raised beds are there for his benefit!!)...



... and the courgettes I planted out over the bank holiday have done well without the recommended week of hardening off. Treat 'em mean I say, makes them tougher!


In the background, the greenhouse has been cleaned out and hopefully all slugs & snails have been eradicated from their little hiding places... just need to keep on top of it now so that they don't get a chance to take over again.
