Not been near the plot but I came home with six budgies today.  :)

Went up to the plot last night with our dog and came home with the first of the swedes and calabrese, plus a bag full of runner beans and french beans. Will be having some of them for tea tonight!

Today's job is pick and preserve the red peppers  :)

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers - where's the peck of pickled peppers, that Peter Piper picked?



 :lol: I can't say it  :nowink:

Picking peppers for preservation purposes is a particularly practical pastime!

Last of the blueberries, which flowered in early April - this is not a crop for those in a hurry although to be fair they have been about ready for a few weeks (a very forgiving fruit!)

More runner beans (they don't seem to have yet realised it was only 4C last night, although I suspect the penny will drop soon!)

A couple of sweetcorn cobs - still about 20 not ready yet and my bottom lip is already practising its big sulk routine, but you never know.  :unsure:

Last of the outdoor blighted Red Alert toms to ripen indoors - it's been a struggle but quite pleased with the eventual yield under the circumstances. More ripe Sweet Million and Sungold from the greenhouse, and some half-ripe Inca plum toms to finish off indoors as there are quite a few still only half-grown and a long way from being ripe.

3 or 4 courgettes still developing, which is good as this year was definitely a no-glut year.

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Beetroot, kale, climbing and dwarf French beans, turnip, swede, pak choi, runner beans, cucumber, tomatoes, peppers, spinach, chard and long purple aubergines.
Outdoor beefsteak tomatoes are ripening verrrrrrry slowly. Me thinks it will be green tomato chutney this year.
I have my own cement mixer and not afraid to use it!!

Late haul from the greenhouse and raised beds at home  :)



Few toms to ripen off, small frying peppers, long pointy sweet peppers, bush cukes and 2 dudhi  :D  The dudhi plant was a gift from Sunny and is growing like a triffid.  I have as much of it cloched as I can but tendrils are heading off all over the shop  :lol:



A selection of apples from the cordon trees as well  :)

A quick dash outside for the courgettes which need picking, these will go in today's tea. Surely the few left on the plants now, will be the last.
