Weeds around a mazet (vineyard shelter) near Roquessels:

Cucumbers and aubergines flowering and beans reaching the tops of their poles:

The tomato plants growing well, flowering and bearing small tomatoes. All they need is some sun now. On the left are the Coeur de boeuf tomatoes, on the right the Roma plants. We leave the side shoots to grow on the Romas because they seem to do well as bushy, short plants supported by horizontal canes along the sides of the rows.

The apricot tree (left) looks healthy with a lot of new growth, even though there is only one apricot on it, and there are apples on the apple tree.

The oleanders are a bit weighed down by the rain, but both the pink and the red are flowering.

I'm glad you've at least got one apricot! I leave nearly all the side shoots on the tomatoes, as it helps them all jam together against the wind. I'm still waiting for our oleanders, just tiny buds as yet.
I love the Oleanders, I used to see lots in Slovenia all those years ago and your pictures bring back some happy memories.
