First Strawberries and more blooming roses

Some little joys. 

First of the strawberries from the garden including wild strawberries which i am sharing with Dave over at Happy Acres who hosts Harvest Monday every week.

The blooming roses have certainly put on a good show. 

The roses are even strewing down like garlands at a ceremonious occasion.

Here is our garden vegetable and fruit plot plan. Credit for the plot diagram goes to D, of course. 

So much going on...like these mixed lettuce growing in an old drainage pipe.

The runner beans are beginning to climb and flower up the natural stick climbing frames.

Here they are from another angle.

Beneath them courgettes and perpetual spinach. 

Below is Blue Kale and Blue Kohlrabi, as well as Kale from the neighbour.

These are pea shoots - the idea and inspiration came from  an old garden show - I will update as soon as I remember its name. 

And finally, red gooseberries

The red gooseberries look a bit sad this year - they are not the size they normally are, still time to grow, but i think they are suffering because of lack of feed and the right soil. But presently I cannot do much about that as we are still socially distancing and being sensible, so no garden centre trips for us.
