Looking round the garden....

Checking round the garden...

The Achocha "Fat Baby" has grown lots in the last 4 weeks and there are now produce on the vine ready to pick. Will have to take photo and post the little things as they are interesting to look at

I cut down the Jerusalem Artichokes yesterday to the floor as they were hitting 10ft on the door and aiming at falling over. When I dig them up I will post choke pictures. Strawberry runners are in the background and hedge trimming in the fore which I use for mulch

The grapes in the greenhouse are starting to ripen. Wippeee. I was worried that they wouldn't ripen but they are starting to become translucent and I have tried one or two and they have a hint of sweetness about them.

Weather here in Wakefield, England today has been wet and rainy. Nights are cold.

Tatties, rasps and chokes

The Jerusalem Artichokes are growing quickly now as you can see by the shot. They have grown very quickly. Last year I enjoyed them sautéed but I got a bad dose of the  botty birps ;-) no what I mean, I am looking forward to eating them again though

The raspberry bush is growing well too. the raspberries are plumping up and I am looking forward to eating them. This variety is Jonkheer van tets

The pot with the spud in has gone berserk. I do not know the variety and it just sprouted in the bucket. not even sure how it got in there to start with. It will be interesting to see what the spuds are like, if any

No post yesterday due to bee association meeting


Weather report - Sunny all day and generally very nice, Wakefield, England
