Tomato time again...
Dick picked a couple of bucket loads of tomatoes this morning... medium sized and the
tiny salad tomato. We'll be giving heaps away, I don't think he's making sauce this
year, we're still eating last year's cook up! Here's a sample of the morning's pick.

Avocado on an avocado tree
Our #2 daughter has 2 growing in her tiny backyard, and she keeps us supplied with
2 varieties of avocado. Here's one still on the tree.

Broadbeans in the garden
Near the end of the crop according to "the boss" but as you can see, there's still plenty there.

The Meyer Lemon in full production
In June. Time for me to partly strip the tree and give some away to passers by. This is just a tiny section of the bush, which spreads to about 2 metres wide by 1.5 metres tall.

Aubergine flowers
Quite a pretty flower - you need to search for them because they are partly hidden by the huge leaves.
