Strawberries and courgettes...

The stawberries are coming along well now and they taste delicious - not that we've had many yet, in fact just 1! More are ready today but I can't pick them when Rhys isn't here - that's just mean!



This morning I spotted our first courgette too, which is very exciting as last year the slugs ate all my seedlings. Its quite a triumph really, although its only about an inch long at the moment.



...and blackcurrant jam is on the way. What an eventful day! I'd be grateful if anyone can tell me whether picking the flower ends off each currant is strictly necessary... it'd be nice to know for next time!
