Looking very sad

The last salad plant if you can call it that, that is left in my greenhouse is this very sad looking cucumber plant, I've left it until I can take the last growing cu off it this weekend. How it's still managed to produce I haven't got a clue!

 

Hi Sheal

Its tried its best to please you

 

Snap, though mine went today
Very Tasty but was not as crisp as it should have been, So I think once the leaves have gone, then the fruit starts dying too

Shoved in a butty bit of ham dollop of mustard , no one would know

 

Just had to hoik my Corgette plant out of the kitchen, covered in aphids. Same size fruit as yours Sheal.

 

I won't swap you Zigs, you can keep the aphids! I've bought corgettes today that were bigger than this, but the cu's weren't meant to grow more than six or seven inches anyway.

 

Not a good summer for Cucurbitae was it.

 

Grey mould all over mine too, If I had time, i'd use the Helicopter

 

My last cucumber was very bitter, I still have a lot of spinach, will it survive if the temperature drops? I have yet to look at my parsnips, hopefully they will taste better after the chill.

 

Spinage will struggle on thru the cold, it flumps but then picks up again, bit like Armandii.

 

I guess tomorrow I'll have to have a look in the blowaway and rescue any surviving chilli plants and bring them in.

 

Aww too bad is happened to her :( , indeed she tried herself to please you.

 

Only one tomato and three pepper plants left in the greenhouse and they're on their last legs! Cleared out the other plants yesterday and moved my citrus plants in for the winter. I'm just waiting now for a sunny day so I can give the greenhouse a thorough clean ready for next seasons endeavours.

 

Armandii's not a flumper Ziggy
