Is this thread in the wrong place? Apologies....
The garden has struggled, this year, to produce anything worthwhile. I don't grow too very much these days as the chooks take up most of the space. My salad growbags rotted in the rain, ditto the herb pots. The tomatoes are still green.....I do hope we get a few ripe ones soon.
The apple trees were ok until that last lot of thunder and high winds. One tree is devoid of little hard fruit now, the other more sheltered tree still has most of it's fruit. We did get a goodly crop on the cherry tree but they were eaten by the chooks before I could get to them.
My best crop so far this year is the Alpine Strawberries. They have produced a good handful of tiny berries every day for the past 8 weeks or more. I love them; the really ripe ones are almost like little strawberry sweeties!

The wind and the Fifties Grey chicks stripped my raspberry canes but since they've gone the rasps made a bit of a come back and today I was rewarded with a handful for elevenses!
