SOUTHPORT FLOWER SHOW -August 19th 2017

Dana & Me

We enjoyed a sunny day out at Southport Flower Show on Merseyside...nice event and well attended.

AUGUST ON THE ALLOTMENTS

Now harvesting quite a lot of produce, including the Peppers and Tomatoes, Apples, Courgettes, Runner Beans, Potatoes, Spinach and much more. Been a very successful season indeed. 
The weather has really suited most things to be honest. Raspberries were prolific as were the Strawberries. We bagged up around 8 sacks of Potatoes and hardly any had slug damage.
The Tomatoes should keep going till well into October again.

FIRST APRICOTS

These are the first Apricots we've had off our tree since we planted it. I must admit that living here in the UK, i'm suprised we can grow them, with our cooler climate. But they have done very well indeed...hopefully more next year! 

The Big One!

Here is a "whopper" of a Tomato we picked from our allotment polytunnel!
It weighed in at 700grams and was one from a few seeds we bought back from our Romanian break last year, a place where all fruit & veg grow very well indeed...being a much better climate than here in the UK.   So next year I'll be sowing more of these.
