My wife and I have picked a load of strawberries from the garden, done this for five days running. At least two large bowfuls each night.

So early as well.

So pleased the hard work is coming off.

Then watered the garden, then for a walk.

Bet those strawberries taste divine, had supermarket ones yesterday and to say they lacked taste is an understatement !

Did you see that article on BBC? The horticulturists in the UK are going to test home remedies for slugs.

L.A. Kent | 434 comments Thanks Amanda, not sure if I was going to be quite that polite though!

11.45am and just back from a walk where we bought 1 doz extra large free range eggs from the little guy up the road where we pay into an honesty box nailed to the gate post - £3.50.

We also got 2 bunches of Cornish asparagus (£1.75 each), so will be having a lovely dippy egg breakfast tomorrow with steamed asparagus! Then asparagus soup for breakfast on Saturday.


message 2643: by Amber (new)

Amber Martingale I know you meant Amber, L.A.

I'm one of those people who can't eat asparagus w/o unfortunate aromatic consequences in the water closet, to put it mildly.
