It’s been a while since the last update (mainly due to my camera breaking)…  the recent heavy rain after a dry spell has everything at the Love Lane site looking lush.

The wildflower meadow (above) is looking colourful…

With a variety of poppies…

..and other flowers, enjoyed by the insects.

Strawberries are still producing…

Gooseberries well on their way…

..as are the Blackcurrants…

..and a bumper crop of Blueberries…

..Apples are ripening (time to thin them out a bit next week, picking off any diseased or damaged fruit, letting the trees put their energy into the good ones)…

..and finally, at last, we have some Pears!  That almost makes up for having missed all the Cherries (the birds had them), as they had decided to ripen during Golowan week.
