Of Flowers, Wildlife and Harvests

Posted on by

It has been the usual busy summer period here at The Secret Acre, since enjoying the first produce of spring, punctuated by the sadness of having to say goodbye to a beloved elderly member of the family.

As always, Emma did sterling work tending to seedlings, and planting out, to ensure our veg beds were soon full. So we were able to enjoy a colourful riot of fresh flowers, summer fruits and new veg.

Visitors to the garden, large and small.
A large bounty of summer fruits, even after the ones for the pickers.
The first new potatoes, beetroot and garlic.
Field mushrooms from the stables were a bonus, while July and August’s stuck weather systems giving heatwaves to many, resulted in autumnal-like cold and rain in the UK, fooling puffballs into an early appearance, but at least providing an early breakfast treat!
