A Frenzy of Activity

We had a lovely bout of rain this morning and it made the ground good to dig. The last quarter of Plot 7 is now dug and the beanpoles are erected over a trench filled with mushroom compost. 11 Scarlet Empire runner beans have germinated, we're hoping they'll be joined by one more!
This is a small video of our friend Malcolm's compost bin - the ants have an amazing nest in there! Hope they stay on his plot and keep away from our strawberries. We have our own ants - they tend to be red!
These are our year 3 strawberries.
And this lovely little bunch is on our year-old plants. We're hoping we get to eat that big one very soon.
