......and had a good laugh watching them jump at a sweetcorn cob I tied on a bit of string in there run!

Spent Three hours digging with frequent trips to the shed for cups of tea. Decided that I had seriously miscalculated the planting time for our christmas spuds - looking like they'll be ready in a couple of weeks and sat for awhile in the big polytunnel admiring the pepper trees, which are approx. 5ft high and heaving with peppers.

Was surpised to find several flowers on the black strawberry plants in the polytunnel.

Harvested a few tomatoes, dwarf french beans, some chillies and a few brocolli florets.

Spent a couple of hours on the plot digging/weeding. Finally looks like I'm getting somewhere now. Looking forward to next week when I can get down and do some more.

Got my sweet peas sown for next year. Well, the first batch anyway, I'll probably start off some more in the spring.

Are you gong to be keeping them outside Martin? Will they survive the winter? I had some that already self seeded outside, but I pulled them up!

They are hardy but the newspaper would disintegrate, personally I'd go for a cold frame option.

As soon as they germinate they go into the cold frame. They are pretty hardy, they will be fine in there until April when I plant them out.

Once they are about 6 or 8 inches tall I nip the tops out, that's all they need.

Went foraging for some chestnuts and walnuts to go with the hazelnuts for my grandad, note the picture in the background we got him a couple of years ago! 😃

Chopped down an old deseased plum tree, decided to burn it to be on the safe side

I dug a new bed around the cherry blossom and bought a load of bulbs to fill it with. Love autumn. Can't wait for spring.

Kicked on with the "Feeding Station"





Well pleased with "My Little Old Self"

Shelf doubles up as a plunger for the feeders as well as a shelf for watering cans!



And the winter digging commences! been a really "Chillaxing Saturday"

[chilli_grower]

carried on with the raised beds today.

I got two done.

I raked some of the soil into the beds, then added a load of manure.

I have a feeling I will be needing to purchase some top soil soon....
