Size matters

It has worried me for a while that it is difficult to show the scale of things on the allotment so I decided that, for fruit, a Tesco's standard banana should be the gague.

So here is the fig I picked at the weekend. There are about 6 more that should be ready soon but this is a test fig.
















The peaches continue to grow but I am not sure when they will be ready. I am reluctant to squeeze too hard, but they still feel fairly firm. They are pinking up a bit though so I think it won't be long.














We are getting ready for the dahlia show by making sure that we pick regularly so that we have some good samples coming on the week before the show and hopefully at their best in time.

One hospital case was so heavy that the stem broke taking with it a couple of buds so I am hoping more develop quickly.

The best is being kept under wraps but hopefully it will be shown with its winners prize.
