20 bags of red currants 14 of red gooseberries 4 of green gooseberries 4 of black currants and more still to come... The Bramley is brimming and the mulberries are getting bigger and slightly pink. It feels like everything is rushing faster and faster.
There are new flowers every day - pink love-in-the-mist:
butterfly gladioli,
bright daylillies, the first of the sunflowers - a dark chocolate variety,
the bright white of the old Michaelmas daisies
and the wonderful helterskelter tassles of the teasels.
The vegetables are in abundance too - the best brassicas ever including some very presentable cauliflowers and hispi cabbage, a mountain of peas and a great tangle of pumpkin vines now enveloping all the tiny crannies of old potatoe and broad bean plots.
Beautiful (but sort of useless for eating) glove artichokes.
Good week in the garden - rain and sun, good for the garden.
