This and that

I thought I should provide a bit of an update before I head off island tomorrow. There’s various fruit and veg news.

Thanks to the lovely Jan (Mrs. Rhodo Dave), I now have six already-flowering cherry tomato plants, which, she assures me, will produce a bumper crop.

There will soon be lettuce to eat!

Although it may not be obvious from this photo, there are lots of flowers on the strawberry plants, which of course means lots of strawberries next month. Yum.

The peas are coming along nicely and the pole beans have started to appear.

Hardly worth taking a photo, as you’d never be able to see them at this point, but there are also beets and carrots beginning to appear.

And, just outside the garden…

This particular photo will mean nothing to anyone except Krys: the garden path cleared of pine cones and needles.

Hopefully things will still be progressing apace when I get back from the Okanagan next week. I shall keep you posted.
