My raspberries continue to grow sporadically; mostly just two or three ripe at any one time. The tomatoes are dying a slow death, but are there's still some small ones to be picked. So, off I toddled into the garden to get whatever's there.
I spotted a few weeds in and amongst the strawberry patch:
So allowing myself to be rather too easily distracted from what I should have doing, I pulled a few weeds out. And lo, there were strawberrys; only a couple but ripe big strawberrys.
I'm only too happy about this, but completely confused. Earlier in the year, I had three strawberry plants - which produced very little, but everything they did produce was - as tradition decrees - in time for Wimbledon. The plants have multiplied and the new ones are autmun producers. Strange days indeed.
Whilst down this end of the garden (not that it's a particularly big garden), I stripped my Apple tree. Eight apples. I don't think is too bad for it's first year - although I can't claim any success for my gardening here - it's only been planted two months. I might try an applie pie.
By the time I came in, my harvest looked like this.....
I bet proper gardeners don't get half-filled three crop cereal bowl harvests! At this time of year though, I'm happy for whatever I get.
