A picture-heavy post with some recent images of the allotment, where stuff is starting to bloom, grow and yield fruit! We have enjoyed a lot of fresh strawberries, raspberries and rhubarb, plus coulis on ice cream and yummy jam. The veggies are coming slowly but surely. Next year, the beans will go in a bit sooner, and will be aided by some fertilizer, which hopefully speeds up the process a bit 
Our apples are getting bigger by the day, and are now the size of tangerines. It’s so cool to have a fruit tree! Later on this year, we will plant a cherry tree! Can’t wait!
-
- Oak-leaf lettuce, lollorosso, rhubarb, loads of picking flowers and our compost heap :D
-
- The apple tree, broad beans, two types of long beans
-
- Our early potatoes. The leafs will start to turn yellow and die off soon, then it’s harvest time! Behind it are our raspberries, yum!
-
- Strawberries, more strawberries and even more strawberries. And big ‘uns too!
-
- The (still small) brassica section. Flat-leaf kale, Chinese cabbage and white cabbage. Parsnip and more cabbages will be planted tomorrow!
-
- So beautiful! Unfortunately the poppies never last long in the vase after being picked!
-
- Ready to go in….
