Weeding along.
Greetings.
Well it's been a while ....so I thought I'd better had! And what with my Sis being over from Germany to give me a hand it was rude not to.
So we've done about half the Plot and now really I must find some stuff to put in it cos the weather is still relatively beautiful and it seems such a waste not to.
In the meantime I've harvested yet more courgettes. Tomatoes in full swing. Purple beans. Yellow carrots. Maris Pipers. And my first Savoy cabbage....and its huge! and just like the ones you get in the shops! Oh and flowers too.
There's been a few disappointments along the way...cucamellons fried in the greenhouse......beets didn't flourish.....runner beans very poor.....onions a disaster.....giant pumpkin...well le't not mention that!.......glads.....caulies.
On the upside I'm going Blackberrying! There's going to be loads this year. And have I mentioned my new Herb Planter? and the four Mackerel I caught off my Pier? and my new Kenwood I got for a song?....been making Ice cream ( raspberry and now rhubarb and custard with ginger snaps) Fab! And my breadmaking efforts are getting better and better.
I wanted to post a coupple of pics but cant seem to upload any....sorry!
Time to go....stuff to do.
Keep on Keeping on!

Iffy...
...ness
Greeetings.
Wheather has gone all iffy. Typical. Stuff goes on regardless....courgettes......tomatoes......electric daisies! My my what Crackerness they are! Took the plunge after all the hype of tasting like 9v batteries and ate half one.......Gadzooks!!! Nearly blew my head off! Very zingy....made me produce a bucket of saliva(not too nice) but the after glow was quite pleasant. Gonna have great fun with these beauties!
A little bonus....the empty plot next to Pips has gone all wild....and there is a fabby blackberry bush just coming into fruit and with loads to come. So long as I can keep it a secret I'll be very happy.
Purple sporuting....sprouting!
Giant pumpkin....not so giant.
Ah heck!
