It’s a funny time of year in the garden… so much potential, so little actual produce. There’s still lots of lettuce and plenty of rhubarb, but otherwise, it’s mainly flowers and developing fruit:
Baby melon
Sheep’s nose peppers
Corno di torro rosso pepper
Ripening tomatoes
French bean flowers
Runner bean flowers
Green red currants
Green blueberries
Green red gooseberries
Green raspberries
Potatoes
Broad bean flowers
I’m not sure how much longer the lettuce is going to last in this hot, dry weather, so it may not be long before we are just left with rhubarb to eat…
it’s been a good season for rhubarb so far
Still, there’s plenty of it!

/ June 7, 2016That just about describes our garden too. We have herbs that I am using. And chives, are they a herb? Lots of weeding and planting still going on. Be worth it though.

/ June 8, 2016It is an exciting time in the garden too. Everything growing so lushly, and as you say, so much promise. My garden has only sweet potato running rampant everywhere. It is dying off in the cold wether, so I will dig it up soon…..but then I have been saying that for a while now!
