Despite the poor spring everything grew and prospered and today was the first day I harvested some broad beans and strawberries.

The beans have been sheltering in one of the raised beds and I’m sure that is the reason they did so well. This is only a fraction of what I’m going to get in the end.

I had to start my strawberries again as the beds I had were over four years old and I could see that the harvests were getting smaller towards the end. I’m sure it was worth it. again, despite the weather the strawberries are sweet and juicy and it looks a bumper harvest. More jam, anybody?
