However, I love berries too! We are just coming into the raspberry season. They grow in abundance all over the place here. However, the monsoons you write about did a number on the strawberries which are my fav. <br /><br />Blueberries to come!!!! <br /><br />I've never attempted vegies. I prefer to buy them at the local market....or from the young girl who sells them at the bottom of my street. :)awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078590763703071653.post-6792373288458273382009-07-27T23:22:01.954+01:002009-07-27T23:22:01.954+01:00Mmmmmmmm.

Attempts to feed the pair of us so far have been pathetic<br />Beans - enough for 2 meals<br />Tomatoes - ONE ripe, and 14 'on the way'<br />Courgettes - ONE just about ready to harvest and 5 little ones following behind<br />Potatoes- 3 bucketsful due to be harvested in August.<br />Perhaps you are right about lack of bees, but I think my failure is due to the fact I have been a neglectful gardener!<br />maybe next year...Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078590763703071653.post-9156518483752021192009-07-26T06:49:45.392+01:002009-07-26T06:49:45.392+01:00Marja, Rainbow Dreams - yes, don't know what w...Marja, Rainbow Dreams - yes, don't know what went wrong with the veggies - I'm very envious of yours!<br /><br />Diane - well, we all got wet that time!

I loved the way that the paving stones in the city centre were only half fixed in so that they filled with water, then when you stood on them, they soaked your feet!! I shall be blogging about it. Hope whatever is causing you hassle sorts itself soon. xxxxDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269721218424514656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078590763703071653.post-76233721294109324972009-07-25T12:15:46.117+01:002009-07-25T12:15:46.117+01:00What gorgeous succulent and juicy photos..we had p...What gorgeous succulent and juicy photos..we had plenty in France, must have been at the right time.
