Snow?

(Before It's News)

Well, you wouldn’t expect snow in Hampshire in May, would you…? This snow-like stuff is actually the fallen blossom of the “Fish Tree” (regular readers will know that this is our family name for a tree of the Sorbus family at the bottom of my garden, called this because its flowers smell fishy).

The Broad Beans are setting pods now.

Unfortunately, if you look closely, you will see that some of the pods are already infested with aphids. I shall have to take the necessary action…!

The peas are not far off ready either…

Other fruits are swelling too, like this “Turkey Sweet Pepper”: (It’s about 1cm in length!)

I have some fine chillis now. This is ”Nosferatu”. They look impressive in their immature state, but when they are ripe they will turn red.

And the first potatoes are forming flowers now.

I should be harvesting some good stuff in June.
