What have you discovered today that made you smile?

The first hint of yellow on my millefleur tomatoes, a curd forming on one of my cauliflowers, and many more gooseberries than I realised - about 4lb of fruit from 2 young bushes.

Thanks hon. I had to run upstairs to get my camera and I thought it would be gone by the time I got back, but I was lucky.

Garnet Lady - loved your woodpecker photo. We find them such shy birds. You're lucky you still have a fatball intact on your feeding tray. Round here the magpies come, peck huge chunks off them and fly off with them, and within 15 minutes of putting them out, they've all but disappeared.

That fatball has now gone lol. In fact about 90 seconds after that pic was taken, the woodpecker had flown off and there were 2 magpies in its place.

Came back this morning from a few days at our caravan to find half a dozen ripe strawberries - the first I have ever grown! We savoured them (3 each!) with a scoop of ice cream after lunch!! Mmmm wish there had been a few more ripe!

I have a cucumber!! Only about 3 inches long so far but very fat. I had almost given up and decided they are not meant for outside. The salad leaves are good but no flowers on the potatoes. Everyone else seems to have flowers....I want some. I guess there won't be any potatoes if they don't flower?

What really made me smile today was going to my local Market, not supermarket and finding that Runner beans were £1.50 a pound, have loads and loads of these, am keeping all my neighbours live in old persons
bungalows supplied and havent bought seeds for the past five years. They grow like weeds, Bless them.

Well it's most days really. I just love the smell of my hands after checking over my tomato plants. It just gives me that summer feeling.

I'm just the same, I have a really good smell of them before I wash them!:)

I have quite a few teeny tiny green tomatoes on lots of plants, various varieties, some in the upright placky greenhouse and some outdoor. Lots of lovely yellow flowers on them all too so the promise of lots of toms to come.
