Evening Alan, Old Codger is like a new man, now he has had his hip done. He is very busy, getting miles ahead of me over the allotments, not sure if i will catch up this time.
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

Evening Freddy, well it's like a large swiss roll, except made out of suet and filled with bacon and onion, i think, i only eat them. :)

Maybe one of our resident cooks might be able to deacribe it a little better for me.

Beautiful sunshine every day :D

The Crown Prince pumpkins are in and curing in the polytunnel.
The borlotti are picked, shelled and in the freezer.
The polytunnel is just about planted up with winter salads.

Just hope we find some sloes today - a generally awful crop round here this year - a few bottles of sloe gin and we're ready for winter :D :D

Compost heap dug out this morning. Lovely to see all that rich brown stuff. Now have a nice empty cage to start again. And the automatic watering system taken up, stored in the garage and all the little sprinkler rosettes taken out to be soaked in vinegar. The amount of limescale that accumulates in them over just one summer, clogging them upup is unbelievable. Have never found the solution to this problem. Still, that another couple of autumn tasks ticked off the list! Won't feel so guilty now if I settle down with the newspaper or a book when it's raining!
