‘Cucamelon’ the Tiniest Watermelon
My watermelon is getting bigger. Soon it is ready to harvest at last! But …
Eh?😲, Really? In London?
It looks just like a watermelon, doesn’t it? But its size is actually much much smaller.

Have a wonderful Bank Holiday weekend!
Blackberries and Mirabelles
It was about a month ago that I picked the first Blackberry of the year. On the way back home from a little walk to the local Sunday market I noticed the berries were just getting ripe. It means that one year has passed since I had missed all the possibilities to pick Blackberries last summer and I did not want to miss the chance this time again. So, my Blackberry picking time started!
I have picked Blackberries twice so far this summer. Since then the weather became very rainy in London and I haven’t had a chance to do the third one yet. Apart from eating them fresh as a dessert with some other fruits and yogurt I made Frozen Yogurt and Sourdough Bread with them and also added Blackberries to anything I bake.

My Beautiful Redcurrants!
Britain is in the best season in a year now. It is also the great season for soft fruits. About two weeks ago I was given a very beautiful surprising gift. It was a huge bowl-full of magnificent Redcurrants which was from a very grand garden of a good friend of mine.
Sunflower
It is the middle of Summer in the UK. The weather is so far so good. Many sunny days and also a few rainy days. It is great for plants and nature. In the summer time one plant you cannot avoid talking about is ‘Sunflower’. The most significant things about this flamboyant flower are its huge flowerhead with array of magnificent yellow petals and big leaves. It’s called ‘Himawari’ in Japanese and it means the ‘thing moves with the sun’. It came from the plant’s nature that the flowerhead moves its direction by always trying to face toward the sun.

During this summer time I wanted to make this most summer-like flower as a Japanese sweet.
Weekend Photo – Strange Insect
I found this strange looking Insect in my garden. Does anybody know what it is called?
