“Come and taste a little bit of St Helena”

The plum trees are blossoming
We’ve a few old plum trees in the front garden, and it’s spring here on St Helena around October time – which means misty rain and cool weather. And it’s time for the plum trees to flower!
Pak choy
Pak choy is easy to grow in the polytunnel.
