    This has been a good year for certain produce.

    What grew best for you this year?

    Got a plant from a mate earlier in the summer . Stuck it in the ground and was amazed to find this yoke in the garden . Its over 40cm long.

    Now I have to figure out what to do with it :D

    Vegetable marrow... the most rewarding plant for a beginner gardener to grow :) But also the most bland / tasteless / waste of space that none of your neighbours will take off your hands. Stuff it with cheese, tomato, sausage meat, peppers, onions, etc., then bake it, and it might be OK.

    Marrows make excellent jam, when you add fresh ginger and leave to mature for a few weeks.


    From another year's harvest, a grainy photo of apples, suiting the light levels out of doors today:

    So far harvest has been a nightmare for those of us at the "cutting edge", so to speak,

    But hopefully that's all about to change and summer's on the way......:D

    Wednesday, my fingers are crossed for a long time now.......

    It'll be good to get some decent sunshine, and I always think that a good spell of weather this time of the year is great for photography, the golden hours are at a much more civilised times of the day.;)
