Pots of cherry tomatoes have come out of the polytunnel and are sitting on wooden pallets outside the sunny back wall of the house. We have visions of walking past and pulling sweet red tomatoes from the bush and popping them in our mouths. That may be some way ahead. There are pots of rocket (that are flowering so no longer edible but pretty to gaze upon) standing next to flowering alliums ( related to onions but grown for their large purple flowers) and even two flower pots containing surplus brassicas that I couldn’t bear to throw on the compost heap. They are flowering too and look quite unusual. Jeremy is putting rows of marigolds into the flower beds. We saved the seeds from last year’s flowers and they have done very well both in the tunnel and on the kitchen window sill.
