    Is it October or June?

    I have strawberries flowering and fruiting in the garden (the same ones that produced a nice early crop earlier this year) AND to cap it all, I have asparagus sprouting up!.

    Not that I'm complaining, quite a pleasant surprise :)

    Me too. Strawberries flowering but tomatoes green and rotting. Very odd. I blame the government.

    2nd lot of strawbs here too although most have been gotten to. Have not put nets over them this time as they have been few and far between. All my attention is on their neighbours - the lovely raspberries.

    Hacked back my asparagus the other week but have not seen any new shoots appearing. Am hoping they keep their powder dry for next summer!

    I never hear warnings not to cut trees/hedgerows in nesting season - I'm going to email RSPB ...

    A tree was damaged by wind and I'm wondering if it's a lost cause
