Well...in all honesty it's hardly a harvest, just 6 strawberries from the garden 😁
which were delicious shared with a scoop of vanilla ice cream 😋
At the allotment we have 2 gooseberry bushes which were groaning with fruit last week, so Gray went to pick them yesterday. This is the sum total of the 'harvest'.....
Yep....8....the flipping birds beat us to it again. And, to add insult to injury, the 8 that we do have are not even ripe. It's a good job we are not overly keen on gooseberries!
In the greenhouse, the tomato plants, cucumber and pepper plants are doing well, we are still picking lettuce leaves too.
I'm hoping for some broad beans from the allotment very soon as they are beginning to fatten out now and we will soon need the bed for sweetcorn. I'll keep you in the loop!

Today, Tuesday, we are giving the library a miss. My books are still not in, and we have £2 Silvers cinema tickets to see Elvis in concert. Our £2 ticket includes a coffee and biscuit, and we'll take sandwiches with us. My back is a little easier today so I'm looking forward to it 😊

That's all for today. Take care of yourselves,

That's odd about the gooseberries because we had so many bushes at the smallholding and I'd usually pick over 100lb to sell and the birds weren't interested until any berries at the end got over ripe and fell off.
ReplyDeleteFresh strawberries from the garden sounds delicious. Too bad about the gooseberries, though.
ReplyDeleteSawfly ate my gooseberry bush again, I just have no luck growing them.
ReplyDeleteThose strawberries look lovely, I bet each and every mouthful was savoured by you both. Those cinema tickets are a real bargain, our Silver Screening deal is £10 a ticket, with coffee and a cake for £5!!
ReplyDeleteWe took to netting our cherry trees as the birds would eat them all before I could pick them. I don't mind sharing but those birds are blooming greedy.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
