How things are going here...

The butter beans are yummy and we have had several feeds from them although they often don't make the dinner table if I leave them on the bench.  I expected there to be a difference in their performance as to where they are but there isn't, although the ones by the drive cope with more wind their roots don't dry out like the plants in the pot in the backyard.

We are enjoying strawberries on a regular basis too. I can't believe that the stalks of the strawberries can support the weight of the fruit like they are, as they are holding them upright into the air and the fruit is large.

The potatoes are flowering and are all doing well. The ones behind the garage seem to be doing the best, getting enough sunshine without drying out too much at this time of the year.
