what are the peppers?... and I agree.... tea is whatever I've picked off the garden and/or allotment..... though it is turning into a courgette based diet......

Watch it Tee Gee.  Bude is in Cornwall.  Remember to take your passport 8) .

Have a Kelly's Icecream at the canal side and enjoy a few lazy days.

If you want a bit of excitement go from Widemouth bay to Crackington via Millhook.  Then do it at night!!

They don't seem small to me! They are even starting to be too big for my liking! After that they start to be unwieldy and lose their flavour.

Have a nice holiday Tee Gee! Wish I could have done some lettuce, with this drought it was just impossible.

Here here i'm getting a little fed up of courgettes there's only so many things that i can hide them in, my partner said that he thought we should have sausage and chips so i couldn't hide any courgettes in!

Hi all I'm back, came back early for a rest! 8)

Now to answer your questions;

Quotewhat are the peppers?

Chilli peppers! Own seed can't recall if these ones were from Jalapeno or Bulgarian carrot that I had saved.

Quotewhere are the carrots?

In the ground! I doubt I will be picking these for at least another month yet, but then again I might have a change of mind and pick a few.

I don't usually pick them till I see the leaves beginning to die back!

QuoteAnd only seven small courgettes

You should have seen the ones that I threw away  <    very large   ::)    >

tomorrow the plot holder next to ours (we were only asked to water as/ if necessary) is due home from 3 weeks away.

I think he will be standing there for some considerable time shaking his head in disbelief at the weed and crop growth.

Plot holders please note....Holidays are to be taken only from November to February!
