Good morning.

Dull and grey here. But i am off to the plot to do some weeding. I am back on nights tomorrow and wont be down until the weekend so need to get things done today.

Cadalot, is Outdoor Girl a bush variety?

cordon variety (indeterminate) see Growing notes and review of Outdoor Girl tomatoes

Each year I try and add a couple of more to my grow each year list here is how I arranged it for this year and I have already kinda sorted the next few years of growing. Alans Allotment: Tomato Selection - The Final Cut The only problem is I picked up some more tomato seed packs in the Wyevale 50p sale so I will have to do a re -juggle.

Brilliant, Cadalot. They look like just the job for me. Thanks for asking the question, NS.

Edited to add: I've just had a look at your tomato selection list. I grow multiples of ten varieties. Mr Snoop would like me to grow single plants of more varieties, just to try them. But seeing your list, I'm not sure I'd be able to sleep at night for worrying about permutations! That is a truly impressive selection.

Good afternoon,

Done some weeding on the plot and harvest some more runner beans. Bought some containers so I can blanch and freeze them. Going to make a blackberry cake later

Good afternoon, its been a very wet day here, but the rain has actually stopped for now but everything is so wet, my tomatoes are about finished,tried the black grape tomato this year and I really liked them, but unfortunately not many reached the house, so OH thinks that they are not worth growing next year,but definitely on my list, need to go my daughter's coming in and time for me to go home and get fed

Mornin n'alln'all

Looks like I'm 'first up- best dressed' this morning !

Not so good here though.... my MIL died on Sunday and we are in the UK sorting out her affairs
All very sad, but how uplifting it is with the kindness of others at times like this.
It really does restore you faith in humankind.

As Rary says- keep smiling- you never know when someone really is in need of that smile xx

Will try and pop in again soon x

Hope you all have a great day.

Sorry to hear your news, Nicos. But yes, people really do rally round in times of need. The kindness shown my mum in recent months has been amazing. Big hug for you and yours.

[Cadalot]

Sorry to hear of your loss Nicos, I'm sure there will be lots of uplifting thoughts sent to you from your virtual friends.

[craftymarie]

So sorry to read you sad news, Nicos. My thoughts are with you.

Morning all. Been a very manic summer holiday with lots going on. My daughter goes back to school tomorrow and I have a long list of jobs to complete which I've been putting off like labelling stuff and sorting out the calendar.

I have been reading the odd post but am a bit out of the loop. Hope everyone else is well.

Garden is going great guns and still eating plenty from it. Long may it last!
