As tough manly dad I of course ate one of the hotter chillies which was agony :D

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Chilli eating from the veg plant bench was always a favourite activity for weekend lads when I used to work at the garden centre.  I would find one/some/all of them collapsed in heaps of agony almost every day over late summer :lol:

It poured down all day Sunday, so my gardening was limited to a quick pick and tidy session in the greenhouse.  I have pots of oriential greens that yielded enough for a noodle soup lunch and pots of salad that have done the same for lunch today.

I was going to pot a few herbs on, but the rain was so heavy it was forcing its way into the greenhouse and being dripped on was not pleasant, so I beat a retreat  ::)

Apparently i've got a bees' nest in a pile of compost.
I'm not entirely sure what to do about that....

A neighbouring plot holder had a wasps nest in one of his heaps last year. He left it until the Winter frosts hit and it was fine to turn the heap after. Not sure if bees are so easily defeated though!

Popped into ASDA on the way to work this morning and saw a man sweeping up leaves in the car park. I now have 5 huge bags of leaves for the leafmould pile  :)

Haha. If only I was this organised with everything else on the plot. My other half is in for a shock when I arrive home with a car full of leaves.

Collected 12 large buckets of seaweed , shredded it with a mower and put it on one side of the polytunnel, once shredded it only gave me 4 buckets full and so I will need another 2 loads of the same to finish that bed

A nice day to be a beachcomber as well, just finished before it started to rain

Cleared out a pile of buired trash, wish it was treasure.

Mass murder of blackberries, ripped my hands right through the gloves. The remaining gits will be hacked and slashed with a machete with much malevolence.

Dug, dug and dug, fortunately with the aid of a backsaver, still had blisters forming on my hands. Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet, been really busy with the new plot. Been a good year considering the weather, got a green house up and put a new shed on the roof and if we can just tidy up the fruit we will be well on track for next year. Although this years fruit was pretty damn fine.
