A fruity post…

…but some veg & flowers permitted.

There are so many figs in the second fruiting this year. The question is, will we enjoy them before the starlings & blackbirds?

There are also a few olives although our small tree seems to be somewhat temperamental 

There’s an abundance of apples…

…and pears this year. Hope there are no cockneys reading this!

We thought we’d lost our lemon tree earlier in the year but a bit of tlc goes a long way

The greengages await Alfie & Betty’s arrival on Monday (fingers crossed)

The strawberries are slowing down now but we’ve had plenty, and blackberries too

It’s hard the photograph French beans (‘haricots verts’ over here) but they’re stocking up nicely in the freezer

The planters to the side of the house have been stunning this year, particularly this geranium which seems to going for world domination!

No photos but we’re belatedly starting to enjoy our tomatoes (apparently other local gardeners are struggling too) and our once prolific courgette crop is still arriving in dribs & drabs.
