Reaping the benefits of all the hard work in the garden. Not all successful though - squirrels got into my polytunnel and have eaten all my corn cobs! They’re reds though so I’m cool with that.
Awesome. Feed the reds. They're well cool. Need our support.View attachment 79866View attachment 79867View attachment 79868

Chillis are notoriously hard to grow - effectively at least. They can be herrendously fussy.I've been using/drying my own chilli's for a few years. The plants are not doing so well this year, not sure why... One is 5 the other is in its 3rd year...
Planted another so let's see.
Also dropped a couple of sprouting spuds into a pot to see what happens. Will replant if they do something.
I'm pretty pleased with my harvest so far. I got around 20k of potatoes, salad veg coming out of my ears, loads of herbs, carrots, parsnips and jalapenos. The best stuff came from the greenhouse despite running temps at over 40 odd degrees.
It seems that the veg patch I put in along side the house is in shade most of the day and those veggies are pretty unimpressive and probably won't come to much. As it happens, the house next door to me is being demolished and when they took the roof off loads of bits of the cavity wall insulation settled over the veg. The developer dropped round yesterday to see if the demolition had caused any problems and I was quick to point out the veg was all ruined now that there was loads of bits of fibreglass over it. I pointed out that whilst it may indeed be a pretty poor veg patch, it was still my veg patch and I was disappointed that I wouldn't be able to eat any of it. (We're talking about half a dozen carrots, two lettuce and a Thia basil plant here.) He popped in today and gave me 200 quid for the inconvenience.
So, all in all, it's been a very productive year so far!
Maybe we should start a joint venture?You're just playing, this is mine:
