Me and my dad (mainly my dad) dug while my mum looked after Kit. They joined us after lunch and helped with some planting, and with the watering, and my mum weeded my strawberries while Kit napped in the buggy. It is beggining to look like we are actually growing something other than weeds. And we definitely are because in the strawberry patch we found these...
The first of what looks like it will be many. I think we'll have a strawberry glut soon. If anyone knows any rhubarb and strawberry recipes we'd be set.
Thanks to my parents (and Kit's) hard work hopefully soon we'll have french beans, broad beans, tomatoes and rocket (which Kit is growing in hanging baskets).
Looking great! Love fresh strawberries!

Try this rhubarb and strawberry recipe. You can use whatever fruits you'd like! The garden looks great! http://hambergkitchen.blogspot.com/2012/05/harvest-crisp.html
ReplyDeleteYum, thanks. Look forward to trying it out. :)
Deletegreat to find your pages via Ginny's! I have a link to a fabulous cook's recipe for rhubarb and raspberry pie - but I bet you could use strawbs instead. (it's at the end of this post http://belleaukitchen.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/mums-show-live-exciting-announcement.html). My strawberries are still just flowers (I guess I'm probably about 500+ miles north of you!) but hopefully there'll be some tiddlers soon!
ReplyDeleteOo yum, the pie looks great. Actually spent today untangling bindweed from several raspberry bushes and my son's Dads allotment so fingers crossed if we've succeeded in saving them we'll be able to pinch some raspberries too!
Deletelooks like you have a good helper, too.
