You veg is looking good and I'm glad that at least somebody is happy with their crops this year.

I can't say that I'm cropping lot of veg but berries have done well and I'm just boiling last of my gooseberries into chutney.. ;D..must have something to show from my efforts in the end of the year.. ::)
