Allotment update II

These are my perennials in July. Most of the bounty get's eaten when I'm there.
I've tried blackberry muffins on thursday, but we both didn't really like the butter used in the recipe. If you have a tried and true one - please let me know!

There will be more in the weeks to come:

I simply cannot get enough of those! As soon as they turn dark purple, they're gone!

And if they are finished - the next tree is right behind!

The sour cherries are now few and far between, but I already have about 3 kilo's of them frozen right now. For fall and winter, when I have time to make jam again.

The gooseberries have gone to the wasps this year - I was a few day's late picking them - they will be back next year though....

You might think of leaving them as waste - yes, in some way's it is, but I really do enjoy the variety of critters feeding of the garden.

  1. Nice bounty! there is nothing like your own grown fruit! Love that. It's actually more wasteful to do what I do--pick the fruit and let it go bad in the fridge. At least your way the birds and beasts get to eat it....

  2. Oh goodness, I love your verbena bonariensis! Am in desperate envy of your fruit trees as well - wow.
