We were looking yesterday at how big some of the tomatoes were getting in the greenhouse and I noticed some had started going red! This really was a fantastic moment! Red tomatoes! Amazing!

OK it’s not fully ripe yet but getting there.

I’ve been picking raspberries and strawberries (Although strawberries have all gone virtually now, so I’m hoping they’ll have another flush of flowers!) all week and have made some jam. This has been my first attempt at making jam and it tastes excellent!

We’ve pulled a couple of carrots and have eaten one on the allotment! Same with some peas! Next year we’re going to do a huge row of peas and try not to let the slugs eat them! There are some lovely red flowers on the beans so that’s a good sign and I’ve picked some broad beans too!
My neighbour at home has given me some onions. He’d forgotten if he’d put in spring onions or proper onions and had probably left them a bit long for spring onions. I had thought he’d bought sets though! Interesting all the same!

Amazing range of trees and plants at Planfor
Plan For sells trees and tools for gardeners. If you’ve been after a tree for your garden, but haven’t been impressd with the range at the garden centre this is the place to look. It’s range of trees is impressive – with everything from Abelia grandiflora to Yukka!
They’ve also got some of my favourite plants – Buddleia davidii – these attract butterflies into your garden and is a nice plant too. It quickly fills a gap in the border and can be pruned back hard each year if you don’t want it to get too big.
For bringing bees into the garden you should plant some lavender and it’s available at a great low price. Well worth splashing out on a few plants to make a nice low lavender hedge which you can cut lavender flowers from in the summer!

You can search for the ideal tree byt picking what sort (fruit, conifer, fragrant etc) abd then by climate, sopil and exposure type. This makes sure you get the right tree for your garden!
Simple and easy site to use!
