End of June to 2nd July
The apricot harvest is finally in. The poor laden tree is dropping windfalls, most of which are usable. Lovely to have a glut from one of our fruit trees - finally!

A basket of goodies: fresh peas and a fine haul of apricots.
Coming home on the bikes in the dark one evening, we noticed some furtive movement and just managed to see this little creature, about the size of a large coin. It seems at least one of our tadpoles made it to adult-toad-hood.
These are three new Hostas from the Marathon nursery. They will tolerate shade and have edible leaves (they are members of the same family as plantain). We put them under our best Robinia tree, and will see how they get on.
Also from Marathon: two relatives of ginger, although I'm not quite sure which is which. The tall one at the front may be the Galangel, and in the background is a shorter one which should be Cardamom.
I painted this picture of an Allium flower for my brother who had requested it.
