It's been a great growing year for us - after constructing planters last year, a tad late to grow anything worthwhile we have found it hard to keep up this year. The spuds are Pentland Javelin and wonderful roasted with herbs and oil. We are still cropping, but I have no idea what these behemoth spuds are. The soil to fill the planters was moved from another part of the garden, so these are self-setters.....absolutely huge and the size of rocks. Ideal baking potatoes.
The season of red cabbage or cabbo as we call it has also arrived. It means to me Autumn is nigh and roasts, sausages and all the comfort food is upon us - I am not complaining as there is plenty to make meal times special. The beetroot has been a success along with the peas and beans. The garlic has just been pulled to spend a few days drying in the sun. Hang on, is that a falling apple I hear?

A lovely time of the year Dickie. The apples and pears are fantastic too. The trees by the river are turning though and there is a smell of autumn in the air, it'll soon be time to start fishing when that green goo goes.At the moment it's time to buy paper, Lino and some new ink and then fit the new bricks in the woo burner so we are prepared.

My garden is underused at the mo. Thoughts of semi-retirement, more fishing and a bursting veg plot are getimng stronger every day
Our activities change with the seasons too - lino projects are always good TT! BB - get on the case, even if it's only a small amount of veg it is worth it. TTFN Dickie
