The one strawberry that has grown and ripened from the Freecycle plants I got in July, a few broad beans and chillies from the poly tunnel.

[Springlands]

Yesterday I picked enough chilli peppers to make two jars of pickles and about 20 sweet million tomatoes. To-day - a couple of courgettes - plant still going strong.

Hi all,

I cleared the greenhouse and the plot on Sunday afternoon.

When i dared look inside the greenhouse the first pic is what geeted me 

80% of the toms had fallen off the plants or were split with mould in the split so ruined 

I harvested what i could and cleared the plants ready for winter salads (etc)

I took home what i had harvested 2nd pic, (tomatoes Alicante, sungold, gardeners delight and sweet cherry, then green peppers califonian wonder, chilli cayenne and jalapeno and 1 small cucumber, from the plot, 4 butternuts, thats it) the sprouts seem to have blown  but the PSB seems to be ok for later on in the year.

The last pic is of the over ripe toms with olive oil, salt and pepper waiting to be roasted.

I cleared the greenhouse and the plot on Sunday afternoon.

Me too... but not quite as spectacularly!

So, all tomatoes picked, about 50% ripened, 50% on the window-sill with a banana (fingers crossed). My last cucumber... only a tiddler, but nice and sweet. The last of the peppers - also not ripened, but nice and large, and also quite sweet. Only the chillis left, to see if I can get the last few green ones to turn orange.

And then, planted a dozen winter lettuce seedlings into the space that was vacated.

Certainly does!!

First  sprouts have been munched by some nocturnal visitors but salvaged some today - very tasty.  Yesterday went to lift the beetroot .... Same visitors left the tops and the bottoms ...... But ran off with the middle!!  I see they might be heading for the parsnips now .... Ug.  Currently under siege from mice, voles, pheasants ........

I'd get my own back and eat the pheasants!!

Ha ha ... Pheasants are fairly daft birds but at least they can't dig tunnels or squeeze under netting!  Shooting season here starts next Saturday ... Unfortunately ... Rodents on the other hand ....

That's sad for the birds. I'd sooner look at them than kill or eat them.

Rodents.

Yesterday`s harvest with next year in mind. Kept the grandchildren occupied for an hour or so this morning. 

 
The climbing borlotti and climbing french bean seed were gleaned from the communal compost heap, not my own growing.

[Paul Plots]

A great looking lot of saved seed.

I hope the grandchildren were paid? 

          There's a business opportunity for them.

Picked about 20 sweet million tomatoes most of which were eaten with dinner last night. There are still quite a few on the vines and they are ripening so I am just leaving them for now.
