New contender for world's smallest tomato

The World's Smallest Tomato

Could this be the world's smallest tomato or is it the world's largest hand?

We have grown cherry tomatoes this year and they have varied in size from cherry-sized to almost normal tomato size, but this one has hardly made it past pea-sized!

The Orchid

The first time we have managed to get an orchid to flower for a second time. There are about 24 flowers/buds on it - so many that its getting a bit top heavy.

Duncan and Pauline's Wedding Do

Lyn only took a handful of photos, but there are a couple of good ones. I think maybe they might merit some sort of caption competition. I've put in my suggestions - what do you think?

Brian looked on in awe and wonder as Margaret gargled the theme tune from Miami Vice through her gin and tonic while keeping the lemon slice balanced vertically on her tongue.



John and Georgie show off their new party piece ventriloquist act. (I'm sure there must be a joke about a dummy in there somewhere)




Karen wasn't totally convinced when Neil suggested they see Jools Holland at The Rejent for the 30th consecutive year.



David stifles a yawn as he doesn't have the heart to tell Jim that he's seen that photo of Margaret's thumb five times already tonight.




Brian got something of a surprise when he accidentally sucked instead of blowing on his hot potato wedge.

Veggies get going at last

Our mini veg plot is starting to look like it actually has some veggies in it at last. The lettuce is going strong and the radishes are taking shape. Still no sign of the spring onions, so we have sown some more seed this week-end.














The Toms are looking good and the first flowers are about to open and the runner beans are poised to start climbing their poles!

Abbey House Gardens

Well worth a visit for anyone who likes looking at other peoples gardens. Its only 5 acres so you can get round in a couple of hours if you want to, but could make it last half a day if you really try! Best check the website before visiting as certain days are set aside as 'clothes optional' and you may find more on display than you expected to see!
