Puds to spuds in the height of summer


Neglected but wonderful
The poor garden is having to look after itself at the moment, but some welcome rain means it's generally happy. Just in time - I've got prize winning veg at the Emsworth Show in my sights, Monday 26 August 2013. I can't wait!

The little ones haven't been much interested now the soft fruit and peas are all but over, but we're going to have some time out there tomorrow to get our hands dirty again.

Meanwhile, here are some of the highlights of the last few days...
Hidden jewels - redcurrants

My best summer pudding yet!

Beautiful hollyhock sprinkled with rain and buzzing with bees
Espalier apples ripening nicely under the window
The mummy and daddy of the garden
My potato stems got squashed by the sprinkler, now they're growing again
