Baby Tomato, New Potatoes and Strawberries

We have two tiny tomatoes on our plants, one on each. We go down to the lottie every evening to water them and check on progress and were delighted to find the beginnings of a harvest!

One of our potato plants was in flower so I pulled it up and dug for new potatoes. I got a whole bucketful, just a LiveWire’s sand bucket but full nonetheless!

Our strawberries are ripening nicely too, nearly enough for a Strawberry Shortcake…….

Eating just grown fruit and veg makes all the hard work so worth it.

Longtails, Independence and Help in the Garden

1   The feeder was full of Long Tailed Tits this morning, a dozen at a time but they are so skittish, I only managed to catch a few on camera. I love how they live in big family groups.
