Not been a good year harvest wise, everything seemed to be ready for harvesting at different times to the norm.
Got wiped out by blight on tomatoes both on the plot and then at home in the end

Lack of energy and enthusiasm most of this season means I have only visited the plot very briefly twice since the local show one month ago.

I have onion sets and garlic which were purchased at the Malvern show back end of August still to be planted out, carrots, cabbage & beetroot ready to be harvested.

Better try and pull my finger out as I start another 6 month course of Chemo on November 2nd, arrrrghh yuck

Best of luck pa snip my wife is facing the same after a successful operation , I pulled a beetroot the other day 8 inches in diameter it was a white one how it got into the row I don't know as I only planted red bolt hardy ones

Take care Pa

Thinking of you Pa .

All the best to you, PaSnip, and to your wife, Robo. We are all keeping our fingers and toes crossed for you!
Even if gardening goes on the back burner for a while, you'll catch up!

Best wishes to you pa and your wife too robo.

Good luck Pa and to robo’s wife.
I also have had some white beetroot mixed in with the red beetroot i sowed this spring. Cant remember if it was a freebie packet or not.

Best wishes to your wife Robo and to you too Pa. I will be thinking of you.
I know how you feel as my wife went through the same three years back and has been clear since.

Thoughts with all those who are unwell just now.

Good call Tiger, there's a few of us on here under the weather for one reason or another.

We do indeed wish all members well

Hope the weather doesn't add any problems either it's gone really dark here.

Bright sunny morning here, T shirt on plot job.
19 degrees

There's nothing like a bit of gardening therapy to make us forget our problems if we can summon the energy is there. Best wishes to Pa and everybody.

Have had several reports of friends in various locations having their cars covered with sand. All good business for the car washes I suppose. Good job I didn,t leave out my white laundry out on the line to dry yesterday or I might have found myself doing it all again!
