Tomatoes not doing too good outside. Onions have rotted with the rain we had and potatoes haven't been as good this year - carrots the same as Monty's. I have sown some late betroot and carrots - I have a feeling these will be better. Salads lovely were the slugs haven't been.

I'm keeping my eye on the Apricots - the one or two that I have As last year I picked them a little too late and they had to be eaten soon after being picked.

Pears are pitifully few, the birds have eaten the cherries -I have die-back on one of my cherry trees so I need to deal with this.

Apples not much better, still picking blackcurrants, redcurrants, strawbs and raspberries - though only a few a day.

I don't think I have ever seen so many birds in my garden, going through 2 fat balls a day in the feeder, a bag of peanuts and a bag of seed per week. I bought what I thought was a giant seed ball, turns out it is a large pinecone smothered in lard with seeds pressed in £2 I paid - so I have decided to make my own.
