The Secret Garden has a lot of shrubs, some of which I don't recognise and I haven't got round to finding out what all of them are. That's my excuse: it appears that one of them isn't a shrub at all - it's a baby damson tree! It had produced three damsons. Tasty.
The melon plant has one melon on it; the cornichon plant gave up after I left its one fruit to grow to cucumber-size (also tasty). The aubergine plant is rather more enthusiastic, with one fruit almost ready, another growing well, and more flowers. The strawberries have decided to go for a second fruiting. Gold tomatoes doing well, too. And the nectarine tree is somewhat overburdened. How do you tell that nectarines are ripe before they fall on the ground?
