2 July 2012 - Croppage!

Some blackcurrants ready to pick, and lots more to come - we even got there before the birds!



A few raspberries are ready too - we've protected them against from the birds now.

The comfrey is growing like mad, will come in very handy later on as compost, but for now, we'll leave it to the bumblebees!
 Rhubarb wine soon - must go and get all the equipment (and instructions!)

Mike having a quick break, showing off our first turnip - we're slowly going to thin them out, by eating one at a time!
Now that the strawberry bed has been weeded (the grass tried to move in) we've got fruits!
 In this bed we've got the turnips, a few carrots, 2 corn and all 4 jerusalem artichokes (which the bunnies have taken a wee bit more notice of than I would've liked)








The first bed of potatoes is doing well - we've got 4 varieties in here (and you can just see the plastic bottle and toilet roll crops in the background!)
Here's what we took home - looks like it could be summer fruit pudding and turnip for tea then!
