Poppies growing wild on the allotment~~ The allotment is bursting with growth and the produce has been very well worth the effort. The strawberry crop has been harvested and we are now enjoying almost endless supplies of loganberries. These have a lovely sharp taste and they go down very well in a fruit salad for breakfast in the morning.
I also have a surplus of tomato plants that I have grown from seed and I have planted about twenty plants. My onions have now been put into bags for storage and they should last well into the long Winter ahead. I have also stored some beautiful garlic bulbs in the shed and these will also keep us going for a very long time, to add flavour to Margaret's cooking.

Black Hollyhocks~~ I started to grow these beautiful black hollyhocks from a packet of seed I bought late last year and I planted three of the surplus plants on the allotment: I am very pleased with the results. We have been having an unusual amount of sea mists during this very hot weather, the droplets of dew lodged on my asparagus fern looked so beautiful I couldn't resist taking some photographs.
It is Poppy season here in Norfolk, commonly known as Poppyland, and we have many growing wild all over the allotments
Our Lillies in the back garden are in full bloom now, and I have left them alone to keep on growing year after year. All I do is feed and water them, and they come back with a fantastic colourful display every year.
