been to the plot yesterday to replace a broken window pane, replaced it with a slice of thick white plastic, temporarily, as I like to sit in the greenhouse (*) and look outside, to check what birds and other critters pass by; and there it was, a sparrowhawk (I think) landed on the hedge and looked around, then flying off.
Beans are growing but slowly; no standard runner beans, none, have Borlotti, Pinto, Black and White butter, something should come up nicely.
Grapes are doing really well, 28 cuttings all have taken, in a dozen years should be able to get me some red wine lol!
Cabbage, cauli peppers, tobacco, trying to grow, we'll see.
Dug up a potato indoors and what do I know!
b three spuds! WOW!
interestingly this container where the plant was... back then filled half of it with ground from outside, a heap donated by neighbour, BUT... it has turned into clay and the spuds didn't grow in it! Had them for dinner last night.
Tomatoes getting on, getting there sooner or later, hopefully before the plague arrives.
(*) for a smoke, some writing ( fountain pen on paper, very ancient way of writing), some rest.
