The 100th Post: Garden special!




Congratulations to all of you who have stuck with the blog since the beginning. 10 months and 100 posts - the Maths teacher is looking for patterns here!!
.
We've had some lovely hot but hazy weather here and we've both been busy in the garden as you can see. In the first photo you can see pumpkins, leeks, strawberries, cherry tomatoes (with curly wurly sticks) and parsley.
.
The second photo shows artichokes, two different potatoes, onions and tomatoes. Nearest the house you can see a couple of straggling cabbage/caulie about to be replaced by green beans and more tomatoes - well the neighbours keep giving us plants! Also hidden up there are the courgette, melon and gherkin plants.
.
You can also see that our fruit trees have been working hard with cherries and pears on display here for your delight!

Congratulations on reaching a 100!!
Your fruit and vegetables look fantastic!!
Weather here seems to be on a par with yours, hot and sunny one day and cloudy and muggy the next.
I too, have eaten outside, for breakfast and lunch, but not as often as you two(ref letter). I have also swam in my step daughter's pool last week. (unheated!!!)
Thank you for the great birthday card, I love the giant ladybirds!
It's a pity we can't put them to work in our little garden!!
Good luck to Matt and Steph at La Paillote, take care and love to you all.

Salut!
Might the pattern be 20months, 200 blogs? Congrats on getting to 100 (with a little help from guests)! Garden post very apt as it is Chelsea (RHS flower show, not football!)week here. All that fruit & veg is looking great - it will need to be tasted.....
Bisous, LCA.
