Seriously, whats the point of 'dwarf' kale? Kale's so fashionable these days that dwarf kale seeds were the only ones around.

Overview

Drying out

Late pea

A late crop of peas has germinated well in the warm soil - the mice are probably otherwise engaged with plenty of sunflower seeds.

Red hot

Sweet

Nothing sweeter than a beetroot, not even a windfall apple, autumn raspberry or corn on the cob. Yet people pickle them!?

Short and sweet

The plum season's here. Blink and you'll miss it. In a couple of weeks they'll all be gone. The plop of ripe fruit falling to the ground serves as an audible reminder.

Sweet dumpling

Hot pot

Unsurprisingly, basil's done very well in the hot weather this year. It seems to prefer living in pots rather than in the open ground.

Glut

  Welcome glut of tomatoes. No signs of blight. Fresh passata daily.

Never enough

You can never grow enough onions, but this crop isn't going to last long. They're not much bigger than they were when they started out.

In the net

I needed a bit of help, because a human put some netting in the way.

Daily greens

The dwarf kale's doing well in the spot where the early pea crop was.

Tassels turning

The tassels on the sweetcorn are turning brown as the cobs ripen and it's time to put some stout netting up as protection against birds and possibly badgers and rats.
