All a bit fuzzey ... and emotional ... but please also note yellow buckets ... courtesy of the local sndwich shop !!! They are mayo buckets that get thrown away !!!!!

I got them buckets anorl Flo. Did you get the lids too?

Good veg there Flo. It might be late August but there's still plenty out there for the picking. Wish I had some kale or calabrese in the offing. Sadly not

Went plotting today to dig up spuds. Got rained off and I had to leave the crop outside in the rain Brought some home with me though only to find OH had been shopping and brought a huge bag of spuds and they were all sprouting. Such a discerning shopper

Ate some of my spuds last night, mashed, they were deliciously creamy. Cara and Desiree, and the first sweetcorn. Gorgeous

My sweetcorn is completely and utterly, abolutely and without question ... TOTALLY NAFF ... I shall have to have words with S.o.I. !!!

As I write thunder and lightening again so may loose power! Got the lids Wards, brilliant for brewing ... had to do a great haul cos guess who's coming to stay tomorrow

It's the beans that I find rather exciting three types runners, four types french beans ... and they all taste so different too !! Such fun to do an instant taste comparison

I use the buckets for holding compost, doubles up as a watering can, weed bucket, head for a scarecrow Good plant pots too for cucumbers etc

I wanna some of them buckets

Sowwy Flo, my squashes are naff, well... non-existent really but my sweetcorn is lovely

Visit your local sarni shop Dom and they'll be happy to let you have them I'm sure

I'm gonna investigate

Been tidying the half plot today, tsssk t'is a mess Asked about my early rasps and no, they aren't sick I didn't bring any to bash cos I thought they had some kind of disease Smothered the asparagus bed with comfrey leaves ...
Back on main plot, picked more sweetcorn, French beans and lovely calabrese Picked all my - green - toms cos blight is deffo here Guess it means more chutney making

Or you could try one of these

mmmmm not quite sure I can get my head round tomato cake

Thanks Penny , but maybe that would be pushing my luck

Go on Dom, try it you might like it I mean courgette cake sounds orrible but it's fab

Been plotting today for a few hours, digging up more spuds and generally faffing about. Was lovely til it **ssed it down Managed to hack down some huge brassicas. Massive plants but not a curd or sprout of any kind betwen them. What a waste of space. Oh well they'll make some good compost but I would have preferred sommat to eat

I nipped to the plot yesterday to get some tatties and came back with tatties onions,, courgettes, raspberries and a cabbage oh and tomatoes.....................we had tomato soup for tea last night and will be making raspberry and white choc muffins today as requested by the girls

oh they're fab Del A young lady on our plots makes em, delish Congrats on yer veg. Could do with some rasps hereabouts so might have to go scrumping

I didn't manage to get to the plot at all last week and went down today dreading the weeds. Ok, so they are bad but not too bad but the plus side is that I brought home 5 bags full of stuff Guess I'll spend the afternoon cooking then

I managed an hour on the plot yesterday

Reminder: It's onion set planting time, also garlic and shallots
We're talking Japanese onion sets for overwintering. They're available in the shops now, but they're going fast

I shall be planting the heated treated ones early next year

I planted some shallot 'Jermor' yesterday. Smashing they are too. Purple under the ordinary looking skin, big, fat but elongated so it makes them easier to slice

been plotting

it feels soooooo good to finally say that again
took my little band of 'helpers'

Food on the go already. Wahay
