We did not really intend having much of a kitchen garden (In France known as the Potager) this year, but I managed to clear some beds and so decided I might as well get on with it!! The soft trees are all settling in well and we will be having a great autumn crop of raspberries and some blackberries, which we are looking forward to!! I then had a couple of prepared beds with nothing in them!! A bit of a waste!! So we have also managed a few salad items and are about to enjoy our first tomatoes!!

We have also received some lovely homegrown vegetables from localfriends and neighbours in exchange for some of our eggs - now, to me, that is a really good deal!!
