Peaches

Our crop of peaches came ready unexpectedly early. Thanks to the wet season they are sensationally juicy.

As with the plums we have more than we know what to do with and so jam making was in order.

Working with rhubarb

Melisa made this fantastic rhubarb crumble.
I'm not sure what else went into it but it looks as good as it tastes.

It seems rhubarb just grows. All I did when we got here was divide up the one plant into 3 or 4 pieces, replant and cover with straw. Now it's ready to harvest.
