We are in the dreaded BEAN SEASON.....judging by the amounts that are coming home from the allotment I think it's a world take over by the united bean tribe.....

I'm so glad it's been cooler today. This morning when we went out, it was 19.5 degrees C. It was bliss

Ha - please feel free to send some my way- all my runner beans have been slugged - like mugged but by slugs. I swear because all my neighbours have decking and patio every slug and mole makes its way to my garden despite the open fields beyond. A friend has suggested nematodes next year - does anyone have any experience?


Nsdh and my lovely bil and his wife coming for lunch tomorrow - home cooked instead of the pub which is all nsdh can suggest


Burtha so glad to hear of the divorce

Autumn seems to have come early this year the fine beans have finished and we harvested two perfectly ripe pumpkins over the weekend, the onions have all gone over and have been harvested and strung and are hanging in the kitchen and HWK brought me home a couple of pounds of beautiful ripe purple plums from the allotment tree which I've just poached to have for dessert for a few days with some Greek yoghurt.. The sunflowers we grew have already set seed and turned their heads downwards to mature the seeds which will feed the birds later on and best of all the evenings are beginning to draw in and I'm having to turn the wall lights on at 8ish as the light levels are low by then. Lovely!!!

The sky is dark sapphire by about 20 to 9 in the evening now and driving out along the bypass where you can see quite far into the country, the fields all have a bleached look. This weekend looks likely to be warm - in these parts at least - but I'm already thinking about sorting out my clothes for winter

It would be very good to keep this thread running particularly if we do Brexit at the end of October, it's a valuable way to still stay in touch and share solutions to problems that may arise in all sorts of areas, I popped the last post on but had to search back 7 pages in the listings to find it. It would be a good thing to keep it a little closer to the front preferably on the first page of the listings so it's easy to find. Also flagging up that all the Tougher threads of years gone by and all the Preparing for winter threads that are now in the archives of MSE are full of ideas, advice, recipes and generally useful knowledge and may be worth searching out for a read if you have the time. The Preparedness/Prepping threads are also full of 'how to' advice and also might be helpful but are less 'home advice' and more 'how to cope in adversity' advice. Good resources all round should there be a need for them.
