We have have made two visits to the garden in the last couple of days. Yesterday we showed some friends round and we also went to see the yurts. Their family is keen to stay this summer. The Woodland yurt was surrounded by foxgloves and it was very peaceful and quite beautiful.
Today we went to pick strawberries and sweetpeas. The perfume from the sweetpeas is particularly good this year. I have made the first batch of jam. Looking forward to trying it out with scones tomorrow.
The tomatoes in our polytunnel are really getting going, with small fruits forming. William`s one surviving pumpkin is on the right on the bench.
Here is a view taken from the butterfly garden. You can just about see Steve dead-heading the geum.
It was a hot day. We harvested broad beans, lettuce and of course strawberries. They were delicious, full of flavour, especially after all the recent sunshine.
