The Grapes Are Getting Fat...

Oh how lovely! Fatter and fatter they get! This red wine making variety 'Marechal Foch' is quite happy growing in the UK climate, as it is suited to cooler temperatures and can withstand down to -15.  What a lucky bunny I am to be able to look forward to harvesting these later in the summer!



So, after a lovely morning on the allotment again, my peas are all flowering and podding up, and very shortly I shall be like a child in a sweet shop, with my trug, collecting the bounty of them.

How does it go?  'some for me, some for the pot, some for me, some for me ....'
