These little beauties appeared on my potato plants recently. I was puzzled and thought that my potatoes and tomatoes had cross pollinated, they are after all from the same family.

This is how the bottom end of the garden looks now that we have finally completed the greenhouse and created a path for ease of access. Quite a few bags of stones later and we are all done. There is another little bit of stoned path to the left of the greenhouse that you can’t [...]
