We had a very important delivery yesterday.... three Glen Coe raspberry canes.

Since Phil and I both had the day off work, we took time to go down with Lyta to plant our lovely new additions. With any luck next year we will then be able to pick lots of purple raspberries and make purple jam :P

| "The trubble with t' youth of today....." |
Phil took the opportunity to wear his new cap and smoke his new pipe so that he looked like the grumpy old git he is trying so hard to become. He could be heard pontificating about the youth of today, and how it was different in his day! Lyta took plenty of time to pose as well.
We were very surprised to find that only one of the purple sprouting broccoli plants had died, the others appear to have taken well. All the cauliflower plants are still going strong. We still don't really expect them to come to anything but it will be fun finding out.
Then one of the other plot holders gave us a whole load of beetroot, including a red & white variety which is cooking nicely on the stove as I type. Yum :)
