A sunny mild day here , had a few tiny strawberries with my Weetabix, little Alpine ones,such intense flavour ,just a few at any time

I have had a little strawberry plant growing in a pot in the top of an old chimney pot for years. This winter it was looking very tatty and I nearly disposed of it but my daughter’s dog loves the odd little strawberry so I didn’t have the heart to throw it away.  She visited yesterday and enjoyed her little treat so I am glad I didn’t.

Daughter and s-in-l are in the process of moving from Worcester to West Yorkshire so big change for them.

We are having a bumper crop of rather large strawberries this year and they are sweet, too.  All the other veg in our garden are growing well.  They must like this changeable weather.  It's a bit hot for me.  In the mid-twenties this afternoon.

Our strawberries 🍓 too are wonderful this year, large flavoursome and juicy… netted over to stop the birds eating them and definitely a bumper crop. My family will enjoy them this w/end when we visit them in Brighton.
I love this warm weather with a gentle breeze but avoid the garden until early evening when it’s cooler and shaded.
Think we’ve had more bbq’s already than we did in whole of last year!

Hope everyone is able to enjoy some warm sunshine so good for one’s soul…
