Saturday I was home alone, time outside in garden, I had watered the night before, so everywhere is looking good, so much of the colour I crave. I found a few peas growing, so I tasted one, wonderful, I will have a few more to harvest.
My beef tomatoes growing outside are just turning orange, again I've not grown these before, the two plants in the greenhouse are very mixed, I do have some tomatoes growing on them.
I've had a couple cauliflowers, and I have one last one growing, these are purely for hubby, I don't eat them.
Sunday was much nicer, not too hot and really sunny, perfect for a BBQ in the garden, daughter, Will, George and Molly came, Grandma and Grandpa, hubby and I. We did simple food, the children loving burgers, followed by a lovely fruit salad, perfect time outside, chatting and watching the little ones playing.
Having a few sunny days in a row does make me feel so much better, the rain is good for all growing crops and flowers, and hopefully our water reservoirs are high. Here the schools finish on Tuesday, so let summer begin, everyone is happier when they can get outside.
You can't buy that freshness our homegrown vegetables give us. Especially peas.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a perfect weekend.
ReplyDeleteFresh peas - how lovely. It's nice that the weather played ball for your barbecue.
ReplyDeleteCertainly sounds a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Fresh peas, straight from the pod are delicious.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the rain too much, just as long as we get some sunny days as well. Xx
Your tomatoes are further along than mine, it definitely hasn't been the best year for them so far. There's plenty of flowers but the fruit is only just starting to set.
ReplyDeleteIt is so long since I tasted fresh peas just picked that I have almost forgotten how delicious they are :)
