Seven From Last Sunday.

Opening View.

A view of the plot from the entrance. Made to look greener than it is by the mesh windbreaks. I have covered some of my raised beds with straw for the winter… read somewhere that it was a good idea.

Tracks.

The ground just above the plot showing signs of wear and tear from passing heavy machinery, working at a nearby cottage.

Storage.

The compost bin doubles up as a storage unit for some tools.

Red Onion.

My overwintering red onions are popping up already.

Fennel.

Still a few fennel plants on the go. Didn’t get around to making candied fennel… maybe next year!

Beetroot.

There’s plenty more beetroot to be picked! I have plans to try beetroot, apple and carrot juice, and beetroot-infused vodka.

Coffee Grounds.

Used coffee grounds to be added to the compost heap and raised beds. Supposedly repels slugs too, but it was way too wet to be effective this year.

Goodie, goodie, yum, yum.

Just over a week ago, it was still summer and the plot provided these goodies…

A strawberry called Teresita.

I received the following email recently. It’s annoying because my ISP has been blocking dodgy emails to such an extent that some legitimate emails are not making their way through to me! Yet, this juicy morsel managed to land on my virtual hall carpet. I’m kind of glad it did, it’s a good laugh and a bit fruity…

Hi 🙂 I am Teresita

I’m your strawberry. A hottie from your desires!

I could show you pictures of mine if wanna see me and u’ll understand that it’s absolutely truth.

Your desires would be about me!

My name is Teresita and I’m a very playful girl.

Let’s talk and there are no hesitations u will be thinking about me! Maybe we’ll go to restaurant, go traveling or have fun in my bedroom.

Let’s start satisfying ur fantasies together, darling!

And now for some ‘late summer’ vegetables…
