Summer's here
Moderators: KG Steve, Chantal, Tigger, peter, Chief Spud
They are saying that there could be frosts again next week - I guess that means I had better get up to the allotment and earth up the potatoes again!

And a lovely photograph as normal.

Mind the cooking apple "Lanes Prince Albert" is just as pretty and that usually has a really worthwhile crop as well. Come to think, are any flowering trees failing this Spring?

The Crab apples in the hedgerows, have been quite spectacular this year.

May blossoms out so it must be summer but maybe in a few weeks/days we will be asking "Was that summer?"

Well, we've finally got summer here too, at last. Had lots of rain and cold weather until about a week ago, but now it's brilliant. We've just had our first globe artichokes for lunch, roasted with baby garlic and fresh marjoram and thyme, and tomatoes (tomatoes not our own unfortunately) with parmesan accompanied by a home made baguette. Can't post a photo because we've eaten it!!
We've also had a nightingale singing outside our bedroom window all night, every night for about a month - it's a wonder it's not hoarse by now.
Hope you all have a good summer.

We had some much welcome rain last night, and a goodly amount as well.
The plants look a lot better for it already.

Looks like the Bank Holiday week-end will top up our water butts here too.
We were half planning a visit to the Heathfield Show on Saturday but it looks like it rain there - such a pity when the organisers & exhibitors put all that effort into making these affairs a success.
