    If you can find a way to anchor the plants with string:

    It offers good support. You don't need to tie it - just wrap it round and round. It shouldn't go anywhere. ;)
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    My tomatoes are still going well. Today's harvest:

    I'd better start making that sauce...

    Looking good Mr BE!

    I'll be harvesting my first proper non blossom end rotted tomatoes in the morning.

    I hope tomorrow evening I am making tomato soup.

    Carrots in tubs have done well. I am getting too scared to take them out the pots in case I find they're only 2" long or something...

    Good beans harvest this year - been picking twice a week.

    I definitely have very small peppers. I'll leave em in the greenhouse for now, but suspect they'll end up in the house for warmth...
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Sounding good Lemon! :D

    My beans have got a second wind (fnarr, fnarr!) and I think I'll be getting a second crop from them. I picked everything off them, including the long ones, and they're flowering like mad again.

    Hope you're good for 16 days watering of my thread starting on the 28th? Please? :D

    Hoping you have a phenomenal time out there...:)

    Too handsome to squish. Gently deposited into next door's garden (no one living there at the moment, so uncultivated - won't do any harm!)
