Yesterday my husband went to the allotment to collect the remaining strawberry plants that he had potted up from the runners and to dig out three more raspberry plants now that we have taken out our runner beans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He surprised me with a huge bunch of flowers. They were the flowers from the jerusalem artichokes. They had been blown over by the wind plus we don’t them to drop their seed but it seemed a shame to waste them. They filled two vases and look wonderful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am looking forward to seeing this plot mature and to having lots of lovely fruit in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
