| Allotment pictures |
Starting today, 1st June 2008, I shall be adding pictures taken on the allotments.
These will be anything that takes my fancy, mostly wildlife, I have a mature pond, which currently has newts mating in it, hoverflies mating over it and a variety of other creatures both in and around it. |
 |
| Here is a hoverfly that has just emerged today, warming up in the sun, you can see its' empty case behind it. |
 |
| The one above will end up like this one when it is ready. |
 |
| It is a bit of a miracle to get a picture of a kestrel with an Olympus C60, this was the best I could do, a couple of minutes before this, this bird had suddenly dropped down on to the ground a couple of plots away, obviously grabbing a snack, it then made off towards the cemetary which is when I caught it, it had been around the site for some time previously. In fact it is a regular visitor, not quite sure where it lives. |
|
| My beautiful honeysuckle in flower, this is from mid may. |
| Now for some crops, these taken 4th August 2008 |
 |
| This is the largest of the buttercups so far, getting on for 9 inches diameter and about 7 inches deep, thre is about 30 ft of growth on this plant, but so far only this one fruit. |
 |
| This buttercup is about 7 inches diameter, the plant has forced it's way into the fruit cage and is climbing all over a redcurrant bush. |
 |
| A full truss of costoluto tomatoes, coming on very nicely. |
 |
| Another full truss of costolutos, a most pleasing sight. |
|
| Onion squash, about 4 inches diameter so far. |
