Well after a cold and wet spring here in the UK, we managed a great summer really which produced loads of fruits and vegetables on our allotment plots and at home on our trees. When you consider the quite short growing season we have, everything did very well really. Even the Potatoes, which often suffer from slug damage..I dug them up in August during the dry spell, which was a good idea, before the rains set in. We got around 5 sacks of Potatoes in total.

Now almost into October and we're still getting plenty of Tomatoes and Peppers. The Pumpkins and Squashes have now been harvested and are under cover to mature outdoors a bit, before being brought inside. Currently pruning fruit trees and preparing the allotments for next year, with plenty of tidying and digging to do yet.

Another year and more "Veggies" and "Fruits" to enjoy from the current gardening season.

Despite a strange set of weather systems this year and cloudy pretty much every week...we are still growing things pretty well. The Fruits are very nice this year and loads too!

Root Veg seems slower, but time yet I guess. The Pumpkins are quite behind though, so not expecting as many as last year...which would be a pity.  But the mornings and evenings have been chilly at times, which would explain the smaller plants at this time of year.

The outdoor Tomatoes are also lacking in flowers, so again perhaps not to be very prolific this season. We need more warmth and sunshine!!
