Elephant Tomato and the Lone Blueberry

One of our first tomatoes - in our fine tradition of deformed produce. We've had a few more tomatoes since, all much more normal looking.

The Lone Blueberry is an even more tragic tale . . . We had (at one point) lots of lovely ripening blueberries - then, one day, they were gone, except for the Lone Blueberry sitting on a strawberry leaf. No idea what got them, as far as we can see the fruit cage is intact - our only thought is that some clever bird / squirrel squeezed itself under the flap of netting at the top, ate the lot, and squeezed its way back out again.

Ah well, you live and learn . . . next year we tie down all the netting round the top and keep our fingers crossed!
