Despite half of the seeds failing this year, (last years mouldy beans) Blake's beanstalk house has produced some tasty beans for our tea this evening and they make a super healthy treat between meals. If you're wondering why some of the grass is missing, I started to extend the path, but like most things I start it remains incomplete.

Despite total neglect and crap weather, we actually seem to have a lot of tomatoes growing this year. We planted cherry and plum tomatoes, but I stupidly mixed them all up when they were younger so I didn't know which ones to pinch out. So a surprising result that we have any fruit at all, be nice if and when they turn red.

The raspberries are producing some delicious juicy fruits this year and they seem to have spread everywhere, although they don't stay on the bush for long and seem to mysteriously vanish whenever Blake pads past them in the morning.

Yes they are tiny carrots, but due to further neglect most of the carrots were completely slug ridden, so we thought it best to salvage what we could now and remember to put down slug pellets next time!
That reminds me when we were on a bike ride last week, Blake insisted that Mummy should put the snail he had collected on his journey into the grit bin (salt) to "be with his friends". And as I was taking a picture of the carrots above, he was roaming around the kitchen with a santa hat over his face so I couldn't resist getting a picture of him too.
I forgot to mention when Blake was eating his dinner he said "I know I have to eat my carrots so that I can GLOW IN THE DARK!"
