A bowl of strawberries


Those of you who have been reading my blog for a while will know that I am a passionate vegetable gardener.  After all it was the premise of this whole blog: allotment2kitchen, but life has changed dramatically since late 2010 and things don't seem to be improving, in spite of all my efforts.  Still I hope and remain a optimist, encouraged by my husband that things will get better.

Anyway, this is a way of saying that there is not much going on in my rented garden: a small herb patch and lots of weeds.  The wildlife are happy though, especially the bumble bees.   And Oh and there are strawberries!
Some of you may remember in June I mentioned that I had unearthed a small patch of strawberry plants that I has planted last year when I had moved into the house.  Well the delicate white strawberry flowers have now turned into juicy blood red strawberries.  I enjoyed some yesterday simply with a drizzle of honey and cream,  and today I made a Strawberry and Vanilla Lassi.  I will share the recipe with you tomorrow

For now just gaze at these sweet deep red shapely strawberries .

    I am sure things will be get better (though don't listen to Brian Cox because I heard him last night saying actually the laws of physics says that the song he played on called Things Can Only Get Better is wrong) And when things aren't great a bowl of home grown strawberries is just what you need
