The Swallows are gathering .......the farewell gathering , before they set off on the long journey to Africa.
How do they know ? It's a wonderful mystery .
Where did August go ? As we drive around here in the far south west of Cornwall we are seeing the leaves on the sycamore trees turning yellow already !
Hopefully we should get more than a few warm and sunny days before Autumn really kicks in .
Supersweet 100 F1 - meant to be small but strangely smaller than they were last year .I might try another small type variety next year . Any recommendations ?
In the greenhouse my tomatoes are ripening up nicely now .
Roma --- new to me this year - these are lovely !
Sweet Pepper Corno di toro rosso - beautiful and will grow again .
I was very mean with the compost as you can see . Maybe I'd have got even more if I'd put them in even bigger pots , but I got five or six peppers from each of my six plants . More than enough for the two of us .
Cucumbers have been amazing , once again I was very mean with the compost , to see how little I could get away with . I didn't get a photo to show this , maybe I'll take one to show you tomorrow .
It has been very hard work keeping up with the watering though . Thank goodness for my neighbour fixing up two new water-butts on the greenhouse .
Ricardo made a jar of pickled cucumbers .....very proud of him indeed !
