Everything rosy

14 May 2016

Things in the garden are burgeoning:

 The artichoke plants are over two metres tall, and making lots of artichoke buds

 The lemon tree is awash with lemons, just need them to turn yellow now ...

 This is one of our Moringas, about 10cm tall, under a cricket-proof net.  They seem to be doing okay.  We've just put in a handful of new seeds as well, to try to improve on the five surviving plants we have at the moment.

And our first rose - how very beautiful.  We are growing these as a salad crop - apparently there's more vitamin C in rose petals than in oranges.  May be apocryphal, but very pretty in salads anyway.
