Garden glory


Summer is when Hadley gets all her vitamins. D and E from the sun, C and B from all the fruit and vegetables.

She has always been more interested in fresh harvest than store-bought or straight-from-the-fridge produce. In this I think she is exhibiting her instinctual gatherer self, who picks what she needs and lets the rest grow. Sadly we need to pick it all or it will freeze in a couple of months.

The last two nights Hadley ate almost her entire dinner while prancing through the back garden:

purple runner beans
snap peas
blackberries
strawberries
kale
carrots
parsnip
nasturtium

This is why our garden is so haphazard and jam-packed. It's hard to specialise when there's so much variety to munch on!
