We have plenty of plans for developing various aspects of the garden further but in the meantime we are pleased with the parts which are established.
GMan recently participated in a one-day workshop on pruning techniques and more particularly, the benefits of summer pruning of fruit trees. He has since purchased some new equipment and yesterday he applied his newly-acquired knowledge and pruned our 3 espaliered fruit trees. There are 2 Nashi pears and a nectarine.
Meanwhile, I have planted a punnet of pea seedlings.
The summer garden continues with tomatoes and zucchinis ripening and ready to pick every day or so.
I have at least a dozen packs of grated zucchini in the freezer which I can use to make zucchini quiche throughout the year. Of course, we have had fried tomato and zucchini as a side dish with plenty of meals recently.
The tomatoes have been especially prolific. I used 6kg to make sauce and there is more than enough to eat with almost every meal. There is nothing like the flavour of homegrown tomatoes.
This is what is on a rack on the kitchen bench at the moment as I constantly use some then add more from what I harvest almost every day.
