Elderberries, Beans and Pink Owls

There is a certain pinkness to my blog entry.

Pink owls.

Pink Borlotti beans.

These were truly scrumptious in a home-made tomato sauce last night

And pink stems on the elderberries.

The first lot of wine is bubbling out of its demi-john already.

We sowed green manure to replace nutrients in the onion bed.

(a somewhat boring picture)

I spent the whole morning pruning the raspberries.

I hope the work will be worth it now the new cage is up.

There is good growth on the canes but one row has almost disappeared.

In their place I put the two lovely gooseberry bushes grown on elsewhere.

The apples are looking inviting but the damsons are not ready to harvest.

I`ve cleared some of the wild area and scattered the dried seed over the soil ready for next year.

We made our last visit for a week as we are off to Mallorca for a week

so Anne, you`re in charge.
