A little green surprise . . .

This afternoon, hiding under a cluster of leaves I found these two teeny weeny, very hard, very green tomatoes!

First fruit . . .

Such a nice surprise after being away from the patch for a couple of days . . . my teeny tiny first courgette! Although at the moment it would make little more than a mouthful for a passing mouse, I feel such a sense of pride at the first sign that I have grown more than just a collection of leaves.  I must at this point make acknowledgement of my wonderful partner who has played such a vital part in this little project.  The patch would not have got this far without his DIY skills in building the frame and bunny proofing the whole affair, without which I am sure I would have nothing more than a collection of stalks and some fat rabbits! Thank you! 

Flowers flowers everywhere . . .

With the mix of rain and sunshine we have had over the past month things are moving on a pace in the garden.  All the veg has now been planted out after nearly drowning in their pots with a week of almost solid rain!  But they are now all settled in and growing quite happily with little flowers popping up all over the place.

Time to go and fend off the black bird which is trying to uproot all my hard work.
