Yellow polytunnel tomatoes, red outdoor hanging basket tomatoes, purple outdoor french beans, green french beans from both inside and out. The last of the beetroot. With the cold weather now forecast to arrive in the next day or so, I'm sure this will be the end of the outdoor "summer" crops.

First swedes of the season, and the first I've grown  :)

An 8 ozer for dinner and a rather bigger one to my plot neighbour, the master gardener, who confesses he can't grow swedes!

Also a weird collection of parsnips and a few ozs of baby carrots. The late summer sowing has at least been better than the spring.

Four tomatoes (beginning to slow down now), yellow pepper and a bunch of spring onions.

OK, that's it... pretty much everything finished!

Over the last week:

- a small handful of purple teepee beans from the early September sowing I made more in hope than expectation. So a good bonus!

- half a dozen radish

- the rest of my peppers: 4 green red-peppers and 5 green yellow-peppers, plus 4 tiny hot banana peppers

- the last of my chillis - about 30 apaches chillis, assorted green, greeny-red and red; and the last 4 scotch bonnet chillis

Ditto Lazza with the peppers and chillies. Cleared the greenhouse out totally and harvested what was left.

At the lottie harvested Beetroot, baby leeks, (not so) baby parsnips and swede. Winter stews are called for and hearty soups.
I have my own cement mixer and not afraid to use it!!

3 large dustbin bags full of leaves, courtesy of the street tree in front of my house.  :)

Neighbours asked why I was clearing them up when half of them were still on the tree, so I patiently explained the difference between "harvesting" and "getting rid of" leaves (they are virtually non-gardeners so still gave me a funny look!)

Also more watercress (now in the greenhouse) and Inca plum and Sweet Million cherry tomatoes still ripening, despite the plants being three-quarters dead from botrytis and god knows what else!  ;)
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
