Malus sylvestra - Native Crab Apple

I planted some native crabs at the cottage about eight years ago when my Mother still lived here, planted just because I love them and with no intention of ever living here let alone being about to harvest the fruit!  This is the first year of fruiting and wonderful they look too.....

Dock Leaf

The time of year when leaves start to change colour is rapidly arriving. This dock leaf is one of the first.

Solanum tuberosum L.

Every year we have potatoes growing in the compost bays, none of them planted but growing from some which must have been waste from the kitchen years ago.  No idea what it's companion is called, a hoverfly of some sort.

Daisies

I found a lovely patch of daisies in the orchard at the cottage this morning.
