Sorrel and Strawberries

Growing sorrel for the first time this year. It is bitter with a lemon twist. I've been using it in curries and salads. The strawberries are a sorry sight this year. Half of them are eaten by the slugs and snails because there has been so much rain. This time last year I was making jam. I suppose this is a good lesson in gardening. No two years are ever the same.

I wanted to try out my new camera and here is the result. I'm really pleased with the progress of my sisters garden in Dovecot. All the wild flowers are coming up and all in a beautiful light blue. The raspberries are starting to ripen and the whole garden is starting to take shape. I look forward to the bbq when the sun eventually comes out.

Rain

I suppose I wanted to comment on all of the rain we have been getting.  Here's my comment.  I like it and I sometimes don't like it.  I like it because it keeps everyone calm and you don't get any of that shorts and flipflop fashion but I would love to just fall asleep on a lovely bit of dry grass.  A picnic would be okay too, or a bbq.  In terms of the plot well anything that needs a lot of sun are dragging their feet and it's not their fault and the slugs and snails are eating almost everything young and tender.  Well have the country was in drought so I guess they will be okay now and it won't be war of the waters.
