I love asparagus and grew it for a while, but we always used to be away when it was ready so I gave up on it. I may start with it again! I love the sight of the blossom - and I would feel satisfied that the apple tree was able to dig down deep in a new spot, too.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792703802542843791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-16207070600551680772014-04-06T19:41:34.053+01:002014-04-06T19:41:34.053+01:00Thank you for taking us to your lovely allotment! ...Thank you for taking us to your lovely allotment!

I saw all the youngsters from the local primary school walking home with their Easter bonnets on Friday, that took me back a few years to when mine had their Easter bonnet parades, such happy memories.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-65776879216864728552014-04-06T14:55:57.029+01:002014-04-06T14:55:57.029+01:00It looks like that Japanese Wineberry knows how to...It looks like that Japanese Wineberry knows how to defend itself.

I've asked my husband to clear a patch in the garden for me to grow some vegetables. He used to be quite enthusiastic himself but not so much recently. We've only ever had two spears of asparagus appear, I think they don't like the soil and climate here. My favourite ever vegetable! Happy knitting if you get a chance.

We have 3 smallish fruit trees in the garden that are frequently battered by footballs when the grandchildren visit - often just at the delicate blossom or tiny fruit stage :( the wine berry looks healthy - but looks as if you'll need thick gloves to tackle picking the fruit!
