early summer

I have picked the last of my raspberries today. I have had a dish full every day for about 3 weeks, and I've put some in the freezer, so I have done well. I have also been eating cherries for about 2 weeks now, and freezed a lot, and there are still plenty about. I was given cherries from 3 different sources last weekend, I ended up with 4 kilos.
My lettuces have started to sprout. No sign of carrots or leeks, I think I have sown them too late this year, it has been very warm and dry. I think I should have watered my onions more as well. Things to remember for next year!
I have pulled up my garlic, apparently they need to be up by the end of June, I think some of my onions need pulling too. I have plety of potatoes, some still in the ground and plenty in the house, I also planted a few more yesterday, they should take me into autumn.
It has not rained all month and this weekend is very, very hot.

The wild gladiolus that I saw last week has been beheaded, I think the deer around here have a penchant for pretty flowers!
