And at least the rain means swelling blackberries to follow.<br /><br />The real-life Balamory is the little town of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull - http://www.tobermory.co.uk/Balamory/<br /><br />You asked why I'm going to be cutting off this year's leaf growth on my strawberries - it's because the immature flower parts from which next year's crop will develop are formed in the crowns during the summer. Taking off the leaves encourages the new leaves to grow quickly in the light and make food for next summer's flowers.

The window box photos in Roberts Cove at the pub are divine. It all looks so warm and colourful. Thanks for posting. I hope you have a few hot days soon before your summer ends.

It looks absolutely gorgeous.<br /><br />:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11830511823393150090noreply@blogger.com
