Promise

There is promise in my garden.



The promise of a salad picked minutes before it is eaten. (VERY slow growing. 3 weeks it said on the packet! I don't think so!)



The promise of an Apple crumble - but not for a while yet.

Strawberries in time for Wimbledon week?


And peas picked and eaten straight from the pod.

Can't wait.


And yes - the wine corks are keeping the slugs at bay! Link added for those with memory probs!!!

It certainly does look promising!! There's nothing quite like picking your own food is there, in fact we've been doing a bit of that here this last week or two and very enjoyable it is too!

By the way, Im also a bit confused about the wine cork/slug thing, whats it all about, please share as we have an utter slug fest going on here at the moment!

Love Julia x x x

Strawberries a wee bit further forward down south here. Haven't heard of using corks for slugs. We have serious amounts of slugs and snails. :O(

I bet those starwberries will be lush with lashings of cream, a Pimms and the tennis on the TV.
