I've only got tomatoes and runner beans left, as in the autumn the veg garden turns into the turkey run.  they eat all my leftover veggies and all the weeds, and manure the garden ready for next season!!   :D :D

Despite looking half-dead from cold, old-age and covered in mildew * I am STILL picking courgettes!

(*   The plants, not me, any clever dicks out there!)
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

Carrots, bbetroot, parsnips, salsify, leeks, cabbages,  plain leaved parsley.

Various lettuces and chicories in the cold frame and about to have the covers put on.

Cavolo nero and purple sprouting to come (I hope!), jerusalem artichokes (which are thugs)

A few tomatoes and aubergines left in the cold greenhouse.  Chillies

Late apples and pears to pick and store (but it is raining!).

The freezer is full to bursting.

Cheers,

Gillie

Not a great deal really, a few miserable looking celeriac, a couple of beetroot and the last of the toms.  Almost had some sprouts for Chrimbo but the girls found them yesterday  ::) and that was that!

Runner beans (late sown ones)
Swede
Cabbage (still growing)
Small green butternuts, fleeced but not holding out too much hope.
Swiss chard.
Brocolli (not had too much but sitll growing a bit).

Parsnips and leeks completely failed and then too late to start again.

Picked peppers yesterday, I am chopping them up and freezing them as worried they would be spoiled by frost.

I repotted by Chilis to see if I can get a second lot of them growing on my windowsill.

How far north is that superluke2? Good idea to add your location to your profile.
