It Must be Wimbledon


One of the things about having an allotment is that it can be some distance from your home. Our's is 3 or 4 miles from home. We rarely visit the allotment during the week.  As a result things can change a lot from one visit to the next.  Usually there are a lot more weeds. But sometimes there is a nice surprise. And here's this week's:


These are Marshmello.  We bought them as seedlings a year ago and transplanted them from a raised bed to the allotment this spring. They seem to have responded, but we were still cautious until our first taste today...

 They live up to their reputation. They are delicious.  Perfect for Wimbledon.


C'mon Andy!
