First Strawberries

Marshmallow strawberries- hopefully the first of many.

With the summer getting off to such an unpredictable start it's not wonder that our crops on the allotment  are all over the place- the asparagus seems to have completely given up and we have just picked the first few strawberries!

Only a few spears of asparagus have shown themselves so far this year!

The greengage tree in the garden has lost all its fruit in the storms and late cold spell, although it looks as if the Victoria plum may have some fruit to come later in the season. The Stella cherry has fruit, a reasonable crop if we can get it- I've just realised we have booked to go away just at the time we picked last year- hopefully with the season being so out of sorts they will still be there when we get back!
