mustard

peas

My plums have done amazinly well this year. I have picked 6 20 litre boxes full off 2 trees. We left about 2 boxes on the trees.
one is a victoria and the other a damson

sprouts

Usually 2 veg with sunday dinner, today I have made a mince and pasta bake, in the mince there's onions, celery, carrots and runner beans, all nice and finely chopped. there's so much veg you can barely see the mince meat

Poor cherry crop, lots of apples, damson and victoria plums, pears are on a dwarf stock so its only a small tree, but got a fair few pears on it.

Not so good on the pickles, but can make a mean saourkrout. . Did make a passable tomato chutney last year.

I grow most veggies, however, I personally don't like most veggies. I will eat a small amount of most but you will never see me eating sprouts,(shudder) they're horrible. My family all have a good laugh at me because of this.

Raining this morning, but I believe the forcast was for rain over most of the country. On friday we were in the White Rose shopping centre during the storm that hit. just sat down for a nice cuppa when the building was hit by lightning. Biggest bang I have ever heard. but no dammage done, just a set...

I'd be happy if mine looked like that,

my cucumgers aren't ready yet but they're looking good

no change to soil, planted them out late oct/early november, can't remember which. Did give it a balanced feed in spring, everything looked fine, started dying back a couple of weeks ago, dug them up yesterday all very small. some rot. Not a lot of problems with slugs, but we do have a lot of snails...

My garlic is a failure this year, never really had great crops of it but never as bad as this year.

Coming up to the time of year where I empty out my shed and put it all back in tidy. never lasts for long though . it's only asmall 4x6 shed.

always liked Billy Connelly.
