So – I awoke at 5.30am, played on the computer to wake myself up, worked from 9 ish to 12 ish, then crashed out for 4 hours which made getting up early somewhat pointless. I scared myself last night by reading past papers, but today seemed unusually casual about the whole having-to-know-things shindig.
So, not as productive as I would have liked. However I spent an enjoyable 10 minutes in the garden. My normally truculent camera decided to take some good shots today. Admittedly it did put the flash on every time, but I think the effect works. It was early dusk after all.
So yes! Our garden is productive! To our proud happiness, Strawberry Plant #1 has strawberries, and today, one is ripening!

Likewise, Tomato Plant #1 is being productive.

And then there’s the flowers. My knowledge of horticulture is such that I shall be limited to “rose”, “purple” and “white”. And so, here is the White Flowers (large bush, prettyful sky in the background):

Next is the purple bush at the back of the garden:

A big rose on the climbing rose bush – it’s so out of control most of the flowers are 15 feet or higher; this is one of the few low ones.

Now some mini roses in the flower bed:

My favourite bit, a cascade of purple stars!

A natural bouquet of mini roses and other white flowers:

And the mini roses, little white flowers and purple stars all together:

Lastly, the sunset.
