Lots of herbs - rosemary, sage, parsley and marjoram.  Turnips and beetroot, the last of the courgettes and a small pumpkin.

The final picking from my hanging basket cherry toms - the plants look so awful I can't stand the sight of them any longer.

Hope I can ripen this lot  :lol:



Plus picked a few more confused strawberries - they are still flowering  :wacko:

At home:
  • Found four very welcomed courgettes - 2 standard varieties and 2 globe shaped.
  • Grabbed a couple more handfuls of French climbing beans (Cobra) for next years seed

On the plot the other day:
  • Carrots, lettuce and beetroot
  • Butternut squash harvested & awaiting collection in the shed

Two rows of Cara and two rows of King Edwards
All the way from my allotment in beautiful Derbyshire. I'm in year 3 of my allotment and wish I'd caught the bug years ago, things growing from strength to strength

Now this is not pleasant and I apologise but........

............ one large spade full of fox "droppings" removed from the back of our little pink bungalow (LPG) across the road.  >:(

Fortunately both my parents are slightly hard of hearing and sleep in until I go over in the morning so didn't notice the party of foxes frollicking and **** under their bedroom window over night.   ::)

(The things us carers have to do....)

Not as much of the fox excrement as you PP, but nevertheless there it was in all it's glory and after a heavy rainfall was not easy to 'collect'.
I'm trying to work out the position the fox(es) must have gotten into to leave the message in the middle of a net covering brassicas. The net is 3m X 2.4m and 1m tall!
