New aloe vera offshoots are emerging. It’s great to see new life after all the rain outside.

Not blackberries but boysenberries! A great harvest this year. Like a bigger and better blackberry, and prolific fruiter! #GardenTwitter #allotment #allotmentbook

The view from underneath the strawberry cage. Without the cage, there would be no strawberries! It protects from squirrels, birds, rats, and humans (on an allotment). #GardenTwitter #GrowYourOwn #allotmentbook #allotment

I’ve put this off for a while, but half of the potato beds are now earthed up. There’s plenty of moisture in the soil after all the rain, so it could be a good crop this year. #allotmentbook #allotments #allotment

These nasturtiums bloomed two days ago. It’s my first year of growing them and I think I really like them. #allotmentbook #allotments #allotment
