Lucky Lucky

We have just been so incredibly lucky with our plot so far. Thanks to the previous plot owners we have been able to harvest and enjoy quite a few things so far without too much sweat and tears on our part.
We are currently trying to keep up with the strawberries. This was our pick the other day!
 

We also have a couple of currant bushes which now the fruit are ripening we can see they are blackcurrants. However the big surprise was that the other bush was a redcurrant!
We picked some fruit the other day but the birds seem to have pinched quite a few since


The bindweed is already starting to come back but the other growth we noticed just a week after sowing......is the beetroot. Can't beat the taste of fresh beetroot!
 
We still have a lot of work to do. Some of the weeds are very high now and have deep roots, but while the days are long, spending an hour or so digging over the ground is actually one of my favourite pastimes at the moment
