IVE BEEN BUSY IN MY PLOT-MOSTLY WEEDING.
BECAUSE OF THE HEAT,AND MY GINGER GENES I HAVE TO GO WHEN ITS COOL OR I FRAZZLE.
 ITS A SHAME BECAUSE I COULD SO MUCH MORE BUT THATS JUST THE WAY IT IS.

IVE HAD COURGETTES-BUT NOT AS MANY AS LAST YEAR. THINK IL PLANT THEM OUTDOORS NEXT YEAR INSTEAD OF THE GREENHOUSE. THE SPAGHETTI SQUASH IS LOOKING GOOD AND SO ARE MY TOMS.

MY GARLIC , LEEK AND ONION BED IS ALMOST EMPTY NOW-NOT SURE WHETHER TO PLANT WINTER CABBAGES OR GREEN MANURE.IL LET YOU KNOW
.
THE PEAS AND BEANS HAVE BEEN GREAT THIS YEAR-MY CARROTS HAVE LET ME DOWN. I PLANTED THEM IN BATHS BUT IT SEEMS THE SOIL HAD STONES SO ALL ARE TWISTED AND DEFORMED. STILL EDIBLE THO-ONE CARROT IS ACTUALLY FLOWERING SO IM LEAVING IT TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN FULL BLOOM. THAT IS-IF IT BLOOMS.I REALLY AM A NOVICE.

THE GREAT MONTY DON SAID TO CUT THE TOPS OFF ALL MY STRAWBERRIES THIS WEEKEND...SO BE IT.

 IM ALSO GOING TO DIG UP SOME SPUDS-THEY SEEM TO BE TRYING TO GET OUT THEMSELVES SO WILL HELP THEM ALONG.
MY TOMS ALSO ARE FINALLY RIPENING-I GET QUITE EXCITED WHEN SOMETHING IVE PLANTED FINALLY MATURES AND RIPENS.

WERE EXPECTING BAD WEATHER FROM MONDAY SO IM OFF TO MY DADS.
I VISIT FORTNIGHTLY-HES IN THE MIDDLE -OR END- OF BUILDING A DECK AT THE GRAND OLD AGE OF 80! BLESS HIM...HE LOVES HIS GARDEN BUT IT LOOKS LIKE A BUILDING SITE NOW AND THE GRASS IS A FOOT HIGH !

HAPPY GARDENING EVERYONE-KEEP USING THE SUNBLOCK.X
