| Today's bounty |
Hey everyone,
I am so sorry I haven't blogged for a while. I think when I am not feeling so great I tend to retreat into my head and nothing will go down on paper. I have a condition that causes chronic pain but it has stepped up a level recently and I have spent every moment of my life just trying to not let that ruin my life, it doesn't seem like there has been time for much else. A huge shame really as the past month the plot has been very productive (even if I haven't been).

Well we have had some successes with potatoes, courgettes and legumes coming out of our ears! The sweetcorn is coming along as is the beetroot, parsnips, radishes and spinach, the raspberries are getting ripe for the picking. But as with all success you also have to have some failure and well there will be no home grown sprouts for Christmas or cabbage for the chickens in my backyard, as we are victims of clubroot! Next years list will now include clubroot resistant seed and we shall try again. The strawberries have done well but my efforts in protecting them have failed and according to the local wildlife they taste great, I will have to take their word for it as not one has passed my lips!

I have planted a disease resistant potato that should be ready for Christmas dinner and hold off any blight that the hot and wet weather will try to curse us with.
It is looking a bit tatty up there but hopefully now I am feeling mentally and physically stronger, as I get my mojo back so will the plot. Still it has held well without my efforts and I feel truly blessed for the bounty it keeps giving.
