Still No Rain ☀️

 

      Today's little harvest......

                         Another good bowl full of peas and beans .

                       A couple of courgettes and a few kale leaves for lunch .

The tomatoes today are strangely huge  🤔 Scatolone 2 I hadn't expected them to be so big !   There is some inconsistency in the shape . This one is round ......

                         ................others are pear shaped  .

Sweet Pepper Snack Bite Red  have all come at once . I have taken them all off and they will be sliced and put into the freezer . Not sure if the plants will produce any more now ....have to give them a good feed and wait and see !

Most places around Cornwall had a small amount of rain yesterday .....but not us on the Lizard !

It was misty over-night , the ground damp first thing in the morning ..... bone dry again very soon after the sun came up .

                                   The heat is very tiring .  

                                                 🌿☀️🌿

Just another lovely day ! ☀️

 

Another lovely sunny morning . Just a touch of mist across the meadow  .

Checking on and watering Pak choi, beetroot , red and green cabbage seedlings in the shed .

Early morning watering the vegetable garden and then check everything is o.k. in the greenhouse .

  

                       Telling the Butternuts to get a move on !

 A lazy day I think today ..hang some washing on the line.....take time to watch the bees ..... sit in the summer house and do some embroidery ... or a bit of patchwork .

      It's our wedding anniversary today .....on this day we usually share steaming hot and greasy fish'n'chips from the chippy and enjoy them sitting in the car , up on the cliffs looking out to sea . 

         (note to self - remember to take bottle of ketchup and serviettes ! )

                     Have a lovely day, take care in the hot sun ☀️

                                           Peace and Love 🕊️

Today's harvest 🌿🫛🍅🌶️🫑

 

             Ricardo ..my Lord and Protector of the Spud Tubs !

So , he is planting another lot of potatoes for over Winter and we are also having some for our lunch  . 

We still have another two tubs to tip out . 

Our potatoes in tubs have done really well this year .

The beans and Purple Podded Peas on the teepees have done well and there are still lots more on the way .

I can't remember which variety these are , but they are so sweet and tasty straight from the pod !

I've never had so many peas before . 🐭🐭🫛🌿Very pleased with these !

Anyway ......

We had some for lunch , all of the peas and some of the beans . The rest I quickly blanched and now they are being given an "open freeze" on a tray , in the freezer . I'll probably bag them up later this evening .

     I got my seeds ordered for next year , some of which were half price now in the end of season sales . 

I ordered a packet of Sweet-Peas which I will sow end of October / November .

                                                   🌿☀️🌿

                                               Still no rain !
