The strawberry plant in the vege garden survived the winter just fine and has now gone bonkers. This was the first harvest - in the meantime we've had several bowlfuls. Some garden netting over the plants has managed to keep the birds away quite well.
Rhubarb is less happy - discovered that they are infested with aphids - so a good dose of bio spray and we'll see if they survive.
Carrots and parsnips busy growing away...
Underneath you see the patio table freshly oiled with linseed oil & turps. Actually quite fun work doing that over the last couple of weekends (scrubbing crud off & rubbing oil in).
The agapanth's are doing ok - though they're new ones as the others did not really survive the winter very well
Yes - we do have some apples.
The lavatera also in the side border upagainst the street wall (Grassbaan wall)
Meet your friendly neighbour
Some shots from Sat 30 May (Pentecost holiday weekend) from the beach at Domburg. Great day with free activities for the kids. Some shots of Robs, Chris and Steve with the skimboards. Roland and me surveying the situation...Janey taking photos & Rosa chilling.
Came upstairs to find Bri standing (!) in the bedroom window.
