I worked at the allotment today where I put in a five hour session stopping only for a bite to eat. Came home feeling weary but heartened as there is all sorts going on :
First peas a podding ~
Strawberries plumping up and blushing nicely. I am growing two different varieties. Yesterday I was able to pick one of each, divide them and share with himself :) Hopefully there will be enough for a bowlful each in a few days.
Sweet peas - I picked the first few sprigs last week and today there were enough for another small vase. These are the most delightfully scented 'Matucana' which I sowed last November in the greenhouse ~
Back tomorrow weather permitting to plant sweet corn and climbing French beans. Will sleep well tonight.

Love those sweet peas - they look like stained glass!

ReplyDeleteMy mouth watered at the sight of the peas, and especially the strawberries. Do you think it wrong that I check the plants at the nursery at the end of each shift for ripe fruit and eat them fast as I can? Weather here was been wet and so very cool, but the Shaded Walk looks its best thus far this year! Hope all is well with you!
Five hours! You deserve a good sleep!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the photo of the sweet peas. Sweet in beauty, too.
Looking good. I have lots of foilage on my peas but no sign of flowers let alone pods
ReplyDeleteOoh, fresh peas and strawberries! I also love sweet peas. Our spring has been so cloudy and cool nothing much is happening here, food-wise. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm hungry just looking at those peas and strawberries! Sweet Peas are a favorite and I love their smell. Mine are really slow this year along with the peas. I wonder if they'll ever bloom.
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell those Sweet Peas - in my favourite colours, too.

The peas and strawberries look delicious, mine aren't quite ready yet. But like you I am picking sweet-peas every time I go to the lottie now, plus for the first time I am also growing them in the garden at home, so a house full of delicious scent.
