The Apricot tree is bowed down under the weight of apricots this year. Every morning I am checking them for ripeness, but they are just not quite ready. Meanwhile, we are getting so many windfalls, which are best collected and removed, in case they harbour pests.

Overwhelmed with apricots! Some of the windfalls are worth keeping, so I have a windowsill of them hoping they will ripen.
Dave has been sprouting a sweet potato, and has a number of slips just about ready to plant out.
At the pond, we have these two darling water hyacinths which float around and are always somewhere different each morning.
This is a salsify seed, like an enlarged dandelion clock, which landed upside down on the water over a pale rock (covered in tadpoles - aaargh!) It looks like diamond.
Big blue mummy dragonfly (Blue Emperor type, according to Dave's researches - but surely she is an Empress)
And a smaller pinky-red mummy dragonfly. There are likely to be lots of baby dragonflies next.
One of our fabulous garden salads: including purslane, moringa, rocket and nasturtium.
