Watered my winter brassicas
picked a huge red cabbage which smells more cabbagy then anything I have experienced!

Dug up another row of spuds. had to do it meself cos ower Tones got an hernia and couldn't very well let him do it. Thats 3 sacks of spuds in the shed now and only 2 more rows to dig(phew) We have 2 buckets that the slugs have been in so am having to use them first and salvage what I can. He don't throw nowt away, Picked meself about 15 damsons from the tree we bought last year and pinched some of the daughters plums while she wasn't there. Was looking forward to getting some damsons from Saddads open day but it's no go this time so will have to be satisfied with what we have. Brought home another load of toms and picked some chrysanths to take to me mom tomorrow Just having a nice glass of wine cos I deserve it ;D

Can't remember it all. Been at it since 9:00 am... still not finished Glad when the OD is over..  :)

Transplanted some leeks and cabbages.
Watered.
Harvested Runners, small cauli and Sweetcorn.
;D ;D ;D

Tidied everything up after seeing all the beautiful plots at Saddad's open day!  ;D

Yesterday - harvested the last bit of calabrese and then cleared, fed and dug over the bed ready for my overwintering onions in a couple of weeks time. Then weeded the rest of lottie 1.

Went up to the other site and harvested beans, carrots and raspberries. I had picked beans and raspberries on Sat, along with a swede, cabbage, leek, courgettes and cucumbers which I gave to Mum and Dad. So glad I restricted myself on the number of green/runner beans I planted - my main harvest will be shelled beans for use over winter.

Also noted that vines on the squash are dying back quickly now - potimarron and crown prince seem to have done very well this year. Will take photo.

Dug up more Ratte
Harvested Carrots
Watered.

ooohhh what are you trying?? ive saved some parsnip seeds from a derelict plot,so far

It was flower seeds from the garden today Rach, might be harvesting a leek seed or two in the next few days up at the plot though as it doesn't look as they are going to produce pips  :(

Linda

dug up more spuds,picked yet more beans of all sorts and colours, was given some damsons, picked loads of toms, sweetcorn,courgettes, cut the grass and weeded/ shades x

cut half of my leeks almost down to the ground as per Kittykats advice,many plot holders on site are digging theirs up because of the dreaded moth.Next year it's back to the envoiromesh.Pulled up the pattipan plant which while the 2 I harvested were nice the rest just rotted .The OH sowed 4 packs of overwintering spring onions,and he started digging.It's been really muggy here and very hot 8) feels like thunder though none forecast hope it doesn't rain as off to watch number 1 grandson play footie :)

Dug half a row of Maris Piper and they were scabbed and slug ridden. Next year will stick to the Pentland javelin for the earlies and Nadine for storing. Cut the squash that were ready and picked blackberries and raspberries.Some more beans Toms and lettuce and weeded again

Picked 3 pumpkins of varying sizes that were ready (anna swartz hubbards) a handful of beans, a couple of courgettes and an aubergine

Planted out strawberry runners.

Pity I didn't see the post it would have saved me all fruitless digging Kev, I still have a row to dig today. (Be glad when ower Tones fit again), They must use a load of chemicals to grow em commercially.

Well dug the last row and a half of the Maris Piper. Managed to save about 3/4 of them.I'm aching(not shakin) all over. Thank godness I put the slow cooker on this morning. Did some more weeding. Came home with some more toms and a punnet of plums that someone gave us.
