We have damsons here, feel free to come and visit with a large pan

Are they ready? In this neck of the woods they aren't ready until September.

They are *just* ready - slightly less ripe than this time last year.

Speaking of things ready... Baggy, I've just given the garden a check over. Damn this wet summer. The acquiligia seed pods have rotted on the plant. So I'm afraid I won't be able to send you any of the seed of my goth flower this year. My apologies

Nature can be so cruel! Thanks anyway...maybe next year, when I predict we will have a scorching summer.

I made jam yesterday with blackcurrants from the allotment. I do jam in the microwave - much easier than on the hob.

Ye gods! This time last year, we were knee deep in tomatoes. This year there's not the slightest hint of ripening.
