I left a stray onion to grow and flower in the greenhouse, its about a metre tall and has a lovely fist size flower, too pretty to pull out as a weed, it attracts hoverflies so it good. I am growing black tomatoes, I am interested to see what colour they really  turn out to be and how they taste. A stray sunflower grew and I left it too, its lovely. Also growing in the greenhouse are cucumbers, courgettes, passionflowers, pumpkin’s and lots of tomatoes of different colour, shape and size.

The apple trees have lots of fruit on them again this year, last year I made so much jam, jelly and chutney using the apples as a base that we are still eating it! This year, a friend Jacob is going to lend us a cider press and I am going to have a go at making cider, that will be fun, LOL!

Sometimes the weeds are as lovely as the garden flowers.
