Fruit Orgy

I am celebrating a fruit orgy this weekend. It didn't look that much in my shopping trolley. I have already eaten half the strawberries. Can you overdose on vitamins? We will know tomorrow evening.



He is not going to help eating this. When he sees the camera, he has to get into the picture, the little media whore.

On the balcony there is a new kid in town. His name is Ilex crenata and apparently he is very very robust:


He will need to be tough. His two predecessors died. Bamboo No. 1 did not survive the winter. Bamboo No. 2 was infected with plant lice. The market garden staff recommended spraying him with something that on closer inspection turned out to be Agent Orange's little brother. I didn't really like the idea of spraying that onto anything, especially with Paulchen and Filou around. So, the bamboo (and zillions of lice living on it) bit the dust and ended up in the compost. The rest of the balcony looks nice, too. Somehow the media whore managed to get into the picture again.
