Which varieties will I grow next year ? 🌶️🫑🌿

        Still picking cucumbers .... so much nicer than supermarket ones .

   "Snack Bite Red " Sweet peppers ..... plenty of them !  Husband loves them ! 

The only thing I would say about this variety is that they all seem to come at once ......but maybe this is because of the heatwaves we've been having . I will slice , open-freeze , bag them all up and throw them into the freezer .

Next year I think I will go back to Sweet Pepper "Corno di Toro Rosso" which are the slightly bigger, longer pointed type .

  This is Sweet Pepper Corno di Toro Rosso . This time last year just to compare .

                 Sweet Pepper Corno Di Toro Rosso this time last year .

                                                Very nice !

             Cucumber " Carmen " and the shorter one is "Merlin" 

Next year I will only be growing  Cucumber "Carmen"...very happy with this one .

          No ripe Tomatoes today , but lots of green ones still coming .

As for the tomatoes .... This year I grew Tomato "Divinity"F1 and Tomato "Scatolone 2 "   they are o.k. nice flavour and texture , fleshy, not too many seeds ,  but I'm not blown away by them . Maybe it's the heatwave , but there seems to be quite a bit of inconsistency in the size and shape of them . 

Next year I will grow Tomato Scatolone 2 and probably go back to reliable old Tomato Alicante again .

      Now I am off to pick beans and peas for lunch 🌿🫛🫛🫛

Weather forecast  - clouds floating on by - still no rain 🌥️ uncomfortably warm .

                              Peace and Love  🕊️

Some you win 😃 Some you lose 😞

 Some you win !  

 Sweet Pepper "Corno di Toro Rosso " are huge this year and starting to ripen up nicely . 

They are very beautiful but I can't eat Sweet Peppers or Chilli Peppers ...they just don't like me .

             Husband is VERY happy though . These are huge !

.....more French Beans . Some to have fresh , some to freeze away .

Some you lose !  

These were supposed to be Giant Sunflowers . It said so on the seed packet ...they seemed to be doing so well and I planted them in a row at the back of the bed because they were meant to be enormous . These are definitely not Giant Sunflowers . Very disappointed  .

I'll finish with some good news ..we have had a couple of nice proper rain showers . The water barrels are filling up again ....and there is more rain on the way for tonight . Hooray ! 

                                                   🌦️🌧️🌦️🌧️🌧️

                       No thunder and lightning yet - but is a possibility ⛈️

                            Stay positive !

               Have a great week , pull on your wellies and enjoy your gardening .
