I went up to Roots this afternoon to collect a veg bag that had been left behind by a subscriber who has gone on holiday and what a treat! Tomatoes, aubergine, courgette – all destined for a ratatouille tomorrow – as well as squash, chilli, two kind of beans, carrots, lettuce and some mushrooms.
There was no-one else there so I took a gentle walk around the garden hearing nothing but bird song and bees and took photos of lots of the flowers planted to help the pollinators.
I tried to catch a bee on a flower but they were too busy buzzing from one to the next. I wanted a photo to accompany Kim Ridgeon’s delightful poem but it is already illustrated so here’s the poem with thanks to Kim for letting me share it with you all.
