Sunflowers!!! Van Gogh eat your heart out!

my lovely tidy clean garden!
re-dug veg patch with onions and caulis covered up

my two small but perfectly formed pumpkins - starting to ripen up now
small perfect pots - the rest are left to grow on
Van Gogh's delights
I grew these all by my own self
Anyone for a Jalepeno!!!

What a busy day today, i have re-dug, weeded and tidied the plot and the garden, collected the last of the jalepeno's, then I cut my sunflowers and put them in a vase, as I thought I cant see them in the garden so I will look at them in the house instead, feel really pleased with myself, I looooove Sunflowers!!

The potatoes are coming along considering that the slugs have eaten all of the leaves, the four other planters have been moved to the greenhouse, so we will see what will happen by christmas.

Look at my pumpkins!!!! out of 3 plants I have ended up with two, considering the summer we have had and the plants getting powerdry mildrew, they are ok and will ripen ready for the end of the month, hopefully, i only grew them for halloween anyway.

So now everything is tidy, I even cut the grass today and cleaned out the shed, I am ready for the winter, the onions are coming along nicely and there is still some beetroot to be had, shame the brussels were mullered by the caterpillars!

I Wont be back now, until more than likely spring, so happy christmas everyone and a great new year xx

Autumn is now upon us!

some sorry looking sweetcorn!!

Well thats it, summer has gone and left us, what have i done, we look we had some sweetcorn and it was lovely......so next year i am not doing runners i am doing more sweetcorn!

not bad for a first attempt i say!

well, i still have beetroot in the ground and planted out some all year round caulis and some red cabbage and have planted 100 onion sets, so fingers crossed. The small amount of leeks i planted are now coming along and if i can get the bloody caterpillars off the brussels then they would be great, but god its like a plague!!!!!

The jalapenos are really going red now, but the pots have had it really, the darm slugs have got to them and i hate slugs.

But i did have my tip posted in GYO about using pegs to collect the slugs and received a £10 voucher for T&M so that cheered me up, dont know what to get now though!!! LOL!!!!

So not much else to tell you all, really i not done much, just watching things grow and get cold whilst doing it!!!!

See you in the spring xx

ps. Started my degree in Early Years so hoping that i stay on top of study and get some stuff done in the garden!
