Took 4 hanging baskets down tidied them up, gave them another feed. Picked runner beans, and picked all the ripe tomatoes in the greenhouse. Had a meal supplied by next door and was then too full to do any more work!!

Walked to the allotment, started cutting the grass, then a tremendous clap of thunder and lightning, didn't want to get struck by lightning, so walked/run home and just about got home before the rain started.

Yesterday I weeded, harvested carrots, spuds and a small cabbage, went down the pub to watch the footie, went home for my dinner and watched the rain, thunder and lighting show from my back door. ;D ;D ;D

Nipped over to plot and picked beans, corn, toms, spuds and a red cabbage. Called in at daughters on the way home and parted with most of it. :o ::)

Harvested runners and sweetcorn earlier, only bought one cob home, and you wouldn't think any of us had eaten the way all four of us fought over one juicy, buttery cob, :P and how come the three year old seemed to have won. ??? ;D ;D ;D

Tony and I were at the plot at just after 9 am. We were back at 11.30 after picking beans raspberries, blackberries and some chrysanths. Spent the afternoon processing it ready for the freezer. Even managed to get some washing done. Its great to be able to do exactly what I want to do without the responsibility of me mom. BTW the home phoned last night and she is settling in very well. Going shopping tomorrow cos its gonna pee down.

Picking beans and raspberries, a few toms. Loads of stilt grass going to seed ::)
Harvesting flower seeds for next year.
Began a jug of Basil Wine, first attempt. If it tastes terrible can use for cooking.

It rained almost continuously until 4 pm, then cleared a bit. At the lottie, said hallo to a frog in the water tank then harvested some Pink Fir Apple spuds (good crop; interesting shapes; minor slug damage), beans and more beans, Ferline tomatoes (still blight free, unlike Gardeners Delight and Alicante), autumn fruiting raspberries and some good sized Nantes and Chantenay carrots. The slugs are having a field day and have eaten the tops off some of the carrots, but there is still plenty of juicy flesh left. Also harvested the last of the pot grown Charlotte potatoes. Cabbages, kale, sprouts, spinach, beetroot, parsnips and leeks are doing well. There were a surprising number of people down there this evening, even in this weather.
In the garden this morning, finished off a waterfall into the pond, loosely modelled on High Force but not on quite the same scale! - i.e. it has a drop of about 18 inches but makes a good splashing sound and should help to keep the water clear. This gardening lark is fun, even in the rain, isn't it?

Dug up hundredweights of Potatoes, Desiree, King Eddies and Picasso... huge spuds as the tide was coming in and another day of rain and they would have been standing in water... ::)

After hurricane, propped up flattened twig arbor.
Am hopeful its blue morning glory and moonflower vines will continue to bloom since they only commenced in Sept.!
