The Rewards











After all the hard work of digging and setting plants & sowing seeds, now is the time to enjoy a few rewards, as the Vegetables and Fruit get picked. So far i've had Strawberries, Raspberries & Gooseberries and a few Blueberries off the garden here, with Peas and Spinach & Cucumbers.
On the Allotment its becoming very productive, as the New Potatos, Dwarf Beans, Cauliflowers, Broccoli, Beetroot , Turnips and Cabbages start to get picked too.
Others will follow in due course, but I'm pleased it's not all ready at once!
The rain we had in the second week of July, has helped greatly, as it was a Three week dry spell before that here. So it was a case of daily watering at home.
But things have picked up again after looking so starved of water and the garden is almost at it's best for this season now.
