#flowering
It's bright and #sunny today and a quick stroll through the #garden shows it's full of life.
The #grapes are ripening and there's a good crop this year..
Of course, not just the #fruit but the #vine #leaves are also edible in dishes like dolmades which I find particularly good for digestion.
On the other side, the #RunnerBean #plants are #flowering and are being frequented by many #pollinators such as this #bee.

It's a hot late #spring day and I was sitting the conservatory as #birds were flitting around the back #garden. Here's a verdant scene of the #flowering #potato #plants I took while waiting with a #telephoto lens for any #sparrows to show up.
One #HouseSparrow did visit the #birdfeeder and I got this nice profile. It almost looks like it's holding a pose for me.
Seconds later, it flew right up to within 3-4 m under the shade of a #rose #bush no doubt looking for aphids and I caught this rather contrasting, scary image of the same #bird as it might look to one of its tiny victims.

A stroll around the back #garden. My spouse is the person responsible for most of this bounty.
The #tomatoes have appreciated the hot conditions of the #summer and are bearing #flowers and #fruit.
#Allium #flowers appear in a variety of #colours and cluster sizes.
#Strawberries have already produced #fruit but are still #flowering too.
Meanwhile, it is too early for the #pumpkin patch to produce #squashes yet but the flowers are also edible. We've had just a few in dishes. You can also see #dill flowers here and as the subject in the subsequent #photograph.
There are a few ornamental flowers too which also help to attract #pollinators.
The #grapes are also ripening on the #vine and we've already enjoyed some of the #VineLeaves for dinner.
The #RunnerBeans continues to #flower even though it has borne #fruit.
The #apples are getting bigger too.
Finally, the #lettuce plants are growing tall and producing seeds for next year.
