![]() Middle of August and a lot of the produce is now doing OK; not brilliant, but OK. The sweetcorn, however, is going great guns, especially as it's our first attempt. ![]() Beans have finally started to take off. ![]() Grapevine too is going beserk. Pruned some of the new growth off today so more of it's energy can go into the actual fruit. ![]() The boysenberries are fruiting like there's no tomorrow. Unfortunately they seem to prefer it outside of the fruit cage. ![]() Courgettes are doing OK. But then they always do. It's been over a week since our last visit and some were now marrows; and big marrows at that. ![]() Strawberries seem to have taken to their new home (next to their old home). ![]() The celery, as mentioned several times in previous postings, is exceeding itself and everything else. Shame you can't actually do that much with it. Still, it is very low in calories. ![]() Cabbages, too, are coming along nicely. ![]() Leeks too.................... ![]() Following on from the failure of the pumpkin in the compost bins, at least we have one starting in the courgette bed. It might just about be the size of a grapefruit by Halloween so it won't be scaring anybody. ![]() We planted some brussels sprouts today. Soil was a bit claggy but hopefully we should some nice ones for Christmas. ![]() Onions!! Picked them all. The tops had gone on all of them so had no choice really. Still looked edible but they won't win any prizes. ![]() Potatoes are a bit of a mixed bunch. Some are alright but many are having to be thrown away - and none of them are excellent. ![]() We did manage to pick a bit more fruit and veg. Blueberries have definitely been this years success story and the soft-fruit as a whole has been very good.

![]() As you can see from this and the following pictures, after three months rain we've had a couple of weeks decent weather and nearly everything has picked up. The sweetcorn is looking good....... ![]() ........ and the tomatoes are finally doing something. ![]() Celery as well.................. ![]() .............. and the leeks. ![]() Even the grapes are trying to make an impression. They may have left it a bit late but depends how long a summer we now have. ![]() Plums too have suddenly appeared from nowhere. unfortunately, if the squirrels have their way, they'll disappear just as quickly. ![]() Another decent crop picked too. |
