It's so much fun waiting for strawberries to ripen when you have a little girl to share the experience. Early morning strawberry checks are daily, they are tense moments. Lifting up leaves, shrieking at cobwebs and looking, hoping for a flash of red. Then exasperated sighs and the good-natured stamping of little slippered feet. Pouting and feigned crossness at the recalcitrant nature of the strawberry to blush.
Me, my veg and I. This is my second year on my plot and I love it. We rescued a sad, derelict old allotment site. Cleared it, loved it, tended it and transformed it from a hardcore bramble and bindweed jungle into a veggie heaven/haven. Five little plots of planting, pottering and peace. I love growing stuff and eating stuff.
