Harvesting.

I finally harvested the corn today:

It wasn’t fully to the tip, but it was time to crop it. It tasted very good actually.

I also took a look at the pumpkin which is still growing – no one is more amazed than I:

Other than that I tidied up the plot and checked on the compost as I needed some for the Bluebells I hope to plant soon.

Last of the summer Colly.

I cut up the last of the cauliflower today. We are having it tonight – not with a cheese sauce this time, but probably with a little butter.

Slugs.

I was digging over the plot this weekend and found rather a lot of slugs – all of the large variety. I couldn’t believe there could be so many in such a small area.

As you can see from the picture below, I have killed them all. Well, it was them or my veg.

Weeds.

I thought this weed was particularly pretty – for a weed. I know I should hate all weeds, but that’s not always possible when they look good.

I still dug it up though.
