Frogs & Green Tomatoes

A trip to the allotment for weeding this evening… it needed it!! Tony and Jordan came up to help – we needed them too!

We were delighted to find that beneath all the jungle of weeds our tomatoes were actually growing!! They’re little and green, but hopefully they’ll ripen nicely. Lisa’s mum has also given us some smaller tomato plants so we need to get them in the ground once we’ve cleared a few more weeds (she also gave us a green tomato chutney recipe should they not ripen!).

Also growing well are the sweetcorn, beans and broccoli, so we’re very hopeful of some good crops there too.

The herb garden was very overgrown, but apart from the parsley and the chilli plants everything is doing well, including three frogs, who leapt out of the jungle and looked quite annoyed at being disturbed! We think we’ll have to find them a little Toad Hall to live in!
