Small Garden Story

Over some 15 + years, I have been photographing the evolution of my small (85 x 15 foot) garden and it seems a waste not to put these records into some sort of context. Beginning here in April 2010 this Blog is intended to both act as a diary and to share past and present successes (and some failures), pleasures and disappointments with fellow garden-lovers. In due course, I intend to fill in some of the background and early days but that will have to wait until the winter months!

Favourite fruit tart...


On Sunday I made a fruit tart which I had thought to photograph - but it didn't last long enough.   Using up some rich sweet pastry (with ground almonds) and an assortment of fruit - mostly picked on Saturday - it made an irresistible treat.     It has to be made with fresh fruit or it lacks texture.   I usually use red currants and raspberries but this year it was an assortment of 7 things - red and black currants (the very first of the season), raspberries, loganberries, strawberries, fraise de bois and pink gooseberries.   Good job this mix of fruit is only available once in a while!.
