My garden never ceases to amaze. I thought I'd  had everything but as I was clearing the greenhouse out I found not one but two cucumbers hiding at the back! Brilliant.  Also yet a few more tomatoes ...with one plant left still producing. And.....another pumpkin amongst the foliage. And ...despite all the rain a rasberry too!

Diggin has started! I'm doin the manured side of last year....and what a joy. The earth is easy to dig and turn and with few weeds to get rid of. I'm about 1/3 of the way through...just need some more time...and less rain.

Seed catalogue arrived....decisions decisions....fancy beans methinks and all things odd! I have a feeling that next season is going to be  a cracker. Having said that it's already started 'cos my onions are already showing! Deffo going to sow lots of icebergs too as we use them on the Van..... as well as toms and cucumbers. Gonna need a bigger greenhouse.

Keep diggin!

So much to do but at the moment little inclination!
It's been Rally weekend here with many thrills and spills due to ever changing weather. On Saturday whilst marshalling we saw a full on Tornado! Amazingly rare in Jersey. And the storm cloud had two others which didn't form fully.Steve and Eve crashed out this year which was a little disappointing. Thankfully unharmed and the car not too bad.
Next weekend is free so weather dependant I will be digging digging digging!

From the sublime to the ridiculous.....the weather has turned...again! Rain and wind and just plain nasty!

As for the Plot...sadly neglected ....although I have planted lots of onions! Oh I've already told you that....it's precipitating again!.....quite bloomin heavily!!!

Had a bit of a gardening accident the other day...I was mowing the lawn when I turned into  my Yucca tree which poked me in the eye. Luckilly I flinched quickly and the spike only just knicked the white but it went all red. It doesn't hurt and the red is fading. Whew!!

Gardening ...it's a dangerous passtime!

Well...it's nearly the weekend and hopefully the sun will come out for long enough for me to do a bit of digging and muck spreading. Joy!

Onions

Greetings!

Wow. What a fabby day!. It's been like Summer here. And today has been just  great.
300 Onions in! Radar Troy and Electric. Ones for over winter and early Summer harvest.
Just wish I could have spent a few more hours out there but work calls. Oh and I got a final couple of courgettes and a few more toms.

I have a huge weed pile which I'm going to turn into a big bonfire on Nov 5th and celebrate not only the saving of Parliament, King and Country hurrah! but also a wonderful first season on the Plot.

Some trials and tribulations but also some wonderful successes and overall a great and satisfying year.

I hope you all have had a good one too!

Now it's digging time............

Keep on enjoying!
