gardening

It was a gardening weekend for both of us. John attacked the hydrangers down the side of the house as they were taking over the pathway, while I spent time in the vegie patch. This year the raspberries have come on well and enough of them to take to the kitchen and have for sweets. John had cream (for the first time in months) on the raspberries, I like them just plain. Some of the tomatoes are ready for picking and ripening up. Its still a battle with the birds and snails over the strawberries. The pumpkin has gone berserk and the cucumbers are only pencil thin. Ruhbarb is plentiful and will need to be repotted when its a bit cooler.
