Fog

          This morning looking very Autumnal through the fog .

Autumn leaves . The Horse Chestnut always the first to say goodbye .

                                         Crab Apples and Plums

 A few wind fall apples for a crumble . I found this beautiful Buzzard feather .

                 Leaf sweeping time has come early this year .

                                           Fog

           Yesterday , I did get round to thinning out the grapes at last .

                       A few for me and a few for the Blackbird .

 I don't really mind if the birds take them all . It has been a very hard drought and heatwave for them this year .

The grape vine really could do with a frame of some sort after the old one fell down during a storm last year . 

It couln't be fixed sadly .

And while money is a bit short , it will just have to continue to scrabble through the bushes and up into the sycamore trees as nature intended .  🍇

The Pumpkins are coming !   At last !

I thought I'd grow a couple to give to the children to carve Jack'o'lanterns for Hallow'een . 🎃🦇👻🎃

 

                      I do hope they grow a little bit bigger !    🤔

                These are supposed to be those giant pumpkins !   🤣

                                                      Fog

It's very early and I expect this mist will soon burn off as the sun comes up .

                              Still waiting for rain ! 

                               Peace and Love 🕊️🤍

I think the Weather is Changing ! ⛅

We had a very brief mizzle shower and I am really hoping we may get some proper rain in the coming next few days .

Still picking some nice vegetables .

 

Today's "must do today " job is to thin out the grapes on the grape vine .🍇

One of my young Hostas " Golden Dragon Tails " was looking a bit poorly and so I decided to tip it out and change the compost . 

 There were some sort of insects at the bottom , which the Robin enjoyed after I tipped it all out .

         Golden Dragon Tails is one of my favourite Hostas .

                   The roots look o.k. so hopefully I got to it in time .

                                Peace and Love and Rain 🕊️🤍⛈️

                                       Love Debbie 💐x

You must Eat your Greens ! 🥬🥬

     We are all wondering when this heatwave and drought is going to end .

This morning there are some clouds high up there in the sky .....

           .....but then the sun comes up and the clouds soon evapourate .

        We took our walk along the cliff fields .....look at how dry it is !

By the way , in the corner of this field there is a water-trough for the cattle .

Meanwhile in the vegetable garden , I had thought that the beans and peas were coming to the end now .....

                ...... but I had a good look and managed to fill this pot .

This lot are now in the freezer . I have two or three large free-flow bags now . I think I will leave the rest to save the seeds for next year .

 So the french climbing beans did really well , very hard work watering everything but it was well worth it .

  We should be picking our Runner beans by now , but they are only now getting going !  No idea why . Anyway they are now starting to climb up the canes .

  I think we will have a late harvest of Runners .

Ricardo says he doesn't like Runner-beans anyway ! 

           He is very naughty ! He won't eat his greens !

                         🥬 Through the shed window, brassicas !🤣🥬

I have Pak choi , beetroots , greyhound spring cabbage , green and a few red cabbages to go in after I've cleared the beans away .

 Ricardo is cross with me for not growing broccoli .....I didn't sow them because each plant takes up so much room for so little yield . 🥦🥦🥦🥦

    .....oh there's still time..... maybe I could squeeze them in somehow 🙄 🥬

          All fer now folks !   Hope you are taking care in the hot sun ! 

                               Peace and Love 🤍🕊️

                                        love Debbie 🥦x
