A Good Year On the Allotment for Fruit Crops.

This year I have the best crops of blackcurrants, redcurrants and white currants, as well as Tayberrys and raspberries, the strawberries were good too but they are finished now. The result of such an abundant harvest of fruit is that I am having to squeeze the cartons of fruit to be stored into the space that I have on the freezer. Of course, I am not missing out on the chance to eat the berries and currants, either freshly picked or cooked up.

I have to thank my wonderful husband for all the time and effort he put into helping me get the allotment 'in order'. As on my own it had been impossible to lay paths and clear some of the deep rooted brambles that we had on the plot.

Eventually with his help, we got to the stage where it had paths and looked like a real allotment. Together we created a place that was a timeless place, an escape from the modern world.

Thank you, for all your time and hard work and also for sharing my enthusiasm for digging up the first new potatoes of the year.
