Someone else also like the sweetcorn

Enjoying my sweetcorn, is it mice or squirrels

I will never know who the predator is attacking my sweetcorn. They are peeled through the layers and eaten when no human is around.

These squashes are doing well

Summer and winter squash

Artichoke flowers look so colourful and beautiful

Yellow and red raspberries

 Apple and pear tree. the apple tree is full of fruit. This is the first year,

Strawberry bed has gone feral

This is the asparagus bed. It's in the second year, it will be another two years before we can harvest asparagus.
Due to lack of rain this season, the soil is so hard to dig. Well, it has to dug and the weeds have to pulled out.
