Middle October

Finally we have tobasco chilli seedlings just breaking through the soil, we have peas and a couple of rudimentary tomatoes! There are also robust seedlings of a new crop of beetroots, an abundance of rocket and we have been using some of the leeks and onions already. They make a lovely risotto.
It's all go!

I can't resist the stuggle of the peas up their strings



the snowball tree is starting to ball up nicely



and the forest pansy is all fresh and sparkly

Wonderful days

The sun has shone and made it all seem as though summer has arrived. We have gone mad and bought a couple of tomato plants today.
A sweet cherry F1 hybrid (god only knows what that means) and a grafted Tomato Roma.



A new mint plant and a thyme, some nice new cat mint for Hazel the thundercat (I had to build a small teepee out of bamboo to keep certain cats from lying on the plant). A large new pot for the Christmas tree.
