Harvesting at home

The Summer holidays have started...We've been lucky having J here in the mornings, so we all went swimming yesterday.  Today we/I decided on a quiet stay at home day.  It's turned out as a harvesting day.  

We nipped out on the bikes for eggs from the lady up the road, who sells 6 free range eggs for a quid.  All her proceeds go to Manorlands (a local hospice).  On the way home we stopped at a cherry tree (I noticed an old guy picking off it yesterday so thought we'd take a look)...

We didn't get many, all the ones left were all too high...

Lucky I'd bought a pound of cherries from the market this morning!  

I thought I'd planted radish seeds in the garden - but as they've grown, they're actually turnips so thought I'd let the kids pull some up.  They thought it was brilliant...

I also picked a few broad beans that were ready, only a handful...

All this lovely sunshine we're having is working wonders in our garden, do you remember all my flower seeds I planted? Well they're doing well too...

I don't think I'm doing too badly this year.  Now what to do with those turnips?...Nx
