Rhubarb is growing in abundance.
This photo is our old, established rhubarb bed, We have divided these plants many times to give us other crops and also to share with friends & family. Rhubarb after first planting must be left for 2 years without picking however tempting it may be to have strong, healthy sticks of rhubarb and a longing for rhubarb tart!

Apple trees in full bloom.
Our row of apple trees is in full bloom so looking forward to a good crop in the autumn.
We have 3 eating and 3 cooking apple trees here and my favourite is the one at the end. It gives us huge green cooking apples from mid August onwards. These apples have a delicious bitter sweet flavour that is really unique.
