Tempting

I reckon another couple of days of sunshine and I'll have my first strawberry ! If the birds don't beat me to it.

The garlic has suddenly developed rust. I'm not too worried as it'll be harvested in a couple of weeks or so.

I pulled one, as I'm too impatient to wait, its a decent size, but I can't tell if its 'cloved' or not:

My Vales Emerald Potatoes are just starting to flower. I'll give them another couple of weeks and then I'll start peeking:

Looks like one of my water lillies is about to flower - its my very first one, so I'm very excited. Its so long since I bought it I can't remember what colour it is, so it will be a surprise:

  3. My garlic has gone rusty too, just like yours. Must be a Sheffield Phenomenon!
