Six on Saturday is a weekly meme originally hosted by The Propagator but now in the tender care of Jim at Garden Ruminations. If you can find the time, check out the posts of other participants by following the links in the comments section of Jim’s post – or share your own six.
My six this week focuses the last hurrahs from the fruit and vegetable garden:
One – (Below, left) – After a very slow start it’s been a bumper year for climbing French beans (the variety is ‘Cobra’).
Two – (Below, top right) – It’s been a good year for Bramley apples as well.
Three – (Below, bottom right) – For the first time in years, we actually have fruit on the cordon-trained pears (the varieties are Buerre Hardy and Doyenne Du Comice).
Four – (Below, left) – Surprise late strawberries and lots of runners that are being potted up.
Five – (Below, top right) – Talking of surprises, this ‘Hunter’ butternut squash is the biggest I’ve ever grown.
Six – (Below, bottom right) – The last of the ‘Firenze’ courgettes.
Here are the events I’m planning to attend either in person or virtually. Links from the author names will take you to the event details on the Henley Literary Festival website where you can also purchase tickets (subject to availability).
