Dear Snooky, well if the manure is from Mrs Thomas it will be of the highest quality. :)

Forgot to say, just got back from the stables in Wavedon, went to support a local band that were raising money for charity.
They were very good indeed and played some excellent 1930s songs. :shock: :lol:

You know the ones i mean Chantal. :wink: :lol:

Has anyone else got to the point were they started digging, but don't want to pull certain things up yet just incase we get a really nice october and there are another few meals to be had off the plants.

This happens every year to me. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

yup. i pulled out the dying pumpkin vine, and accidentally knocked off the top half of one of my surviving pepper plants (i keep knocking bits of them off. they make me feel like a total klutz), but the tomatoes are still trying to ripen and the strawberries are still flowering (are they hopeful? or just dumb?), so i hate to call the growing season done and start prepping the space for next year. (slightly raised beds so it's harder for me to knock off the tops of the peppers, for starters...)

Is there any chance of you posting a photo of your little plot? I'm sure many of us would like to know more about community gardens in NY. Googling around it seems interesting things are going on in the city.

Think we might have had a touch of frost last night, job to tell at the moment, hope it hasn't caught too much over the allotments. :(

Dear PJ, i don't think Old Codger likes venturing out in frosty weather with those toeless slippers, although he was out picking apples in his best house slippers the other night. :lol:

Dear Alan, now you know why i like going out with strong ladies, i need them to crank the engine over for me. :shock: :lol:
