                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

Dug over and weeded the ground to plant some cabbages
Harvested baby carrots and a cabbage
YESTERDAY would you believe I found some Mushrooms  :o growing next to the path on my plot, three big capped ones and a smaller button one, I asked a lady on the plot who told me they were edible but I haven't had the balls to try them yet.  ???  ;D ;D ;D

Cornykev, fungi are roughly grouped into four categories: edible, non edible, poisonous and deadly.
The first two are not likely to kill you, the third may make you a little ill but you will survive (hopefully). There are very few in the fourth category.
Does that make you feel any more BRAVE?  :-\

Cheers Shirl, I decided against eating them before reading Terriers post,  :P Borlotti seems to think they grow in the council compost, I have seen some growing before but nothing like these, they were like the ones you get in tesco's the large cap top ones and one button mushroom, others on our lottie eat some that are growing on the other side of the fence to where my plot is.
I dug up my first Cara, just the one plant to see how they were doing, I got about 16 from the one plant  :o
Harvested runners and beetroot.      ;D ;D ;D

Harvested runner beans, tomatoes, pears, figs and chillies and mowed the lawn.  Haven't had to do that very often this year.

Ninnyscrops.

Picked off the sweet pea pods and cleared the ground.  Harvested more runner beans, french beans, cabbage, African marigold seed heads, one sweet pepper (biggest I've ever managed to grow - looks like a supermarket one  ;D), a few chilli peppers, courgettes and more cucumbers.

Started to cut down the old fantasia blacberry stems ready for Tone to put a trellis up for next years stems. They get that heavy that they weigh down the wire that holds them and you have to get them off the ground.

When it stopped raining I went out and harvested two carrier bags of toms, one of damsons, some courgettes... and a large tub of Fantasia Brambles... ours are still going strong here Shirl...  :)

Ninnyscrops.

Blanched and froze runner beans, courgettes and cabbage. Popped the seeds out of their casings, spread out on a tray and now in the window of the lounge to dry out.

I am gradually emplying beds and putting in biomatter: compost and manure and sowing green manure ready for the winter.  Potato beds now done, so started taking down the cliimbing french beans and stripping off the pods for drying.

chopped up and dug in the pea foliage, finding several pea pods as I did it-yum!  Did some weeding, pulled some leaves off the butternut squash so that the sun can get in- counted the squash (14!)  picked some more bambles and pulled seedheads off the calendula.  Tested the sweetcorn but not ready yet.

A lot of hoe-ing  filling a wheelbarrow with weeds
Harvested spuds, beetroot, springies and a rossa cabbage/lettuce.
;D ;D ;D

Cleared 20 bags of seeding weeds from our new plot and cut down the old wood from the 3 blackberries at our old one and took them all to the tip. Best feeling to have when all the bags are empty.

Weeded all day, even under the slabs around the raspberry canes. Doesn't bindweed look like noodles when it can't escape but how comes it never strangles itself!  ;)
