Gardening

( Sorry for the grainy photos, I really must remember to carry a decent camera to group workshop meetings. So these shot on my iPod, which struggles. I'll do better ones another day ).
One of the earlier posts shows the crossing keeper's cottage sitting on a bare patch of earth. The crossing keeper is a keen gardener, growing produce means not having to purchase food on the meagre pay.
There are lettuce, some cabbages which are just starting to grow (for harvest in winter), broad bean, the runner beans are starting to climb the frame. Onions look healthy, as does the rhubarb in the corner. Raspberries are doing well, though the blackcurrant bush looks like a poor crop this year. The first of the new potatoes have been lifted, though more to come. The main crop potatoes are doing fine.
At the front, the delphiniums and roses are in bloom. (And a few other things not visible from that camera angle).
