This is the best time of year on the veg plot with vegetables and fruit being picked in profusion. Its fantastic when every meal you sit down to is made from your own home grown produce. The soft fruit is especially good this year, these Redcurrants coming from just one bush ! We have picked 3 types of Gooseberries (May Duke still to pick), all our Redcurrants, 2 Blackcurrant bushes (2 more to go), and are still picking summer Raspberries Tullameen by the bucketful. I only wish our top fruit was as good this year but alas our trees were devasted by EVIL catepillars of the winter moth. They munched their way throught both leaves and flowers of all our trees and left us with only a handfull. The organic handbook will be hidden next year in favour of spraying the blighters. On the veggie side of things were are harvesting Potatoes, Carrots, Peas, French Beans, Courgettes, Spinach, Cabbage, Salads and Onions. Asparagus was delicious while it lasted and runner beans are in full flower.
More soon now im back in the chair...... good gardening x
