    Ok .. So its been a rubbish season for some crops and not so bad for others.
    This is how I saw my garden early this morning.

    THE GOOD
    Is how our little front looked in the morning sun

    And also the Roma tomato harvest is going well

    Also Good is the Apples tree again this year

    The final good is these few onions drying in the sun.

    Your garden looks lovely, Robert, and so colourful. Ours is so drab at the moment, too much rain and cold. Nice lot to havest in as well.

    Pity about the peas.

    That is clearly a Siamese triplet tomato. Ouch! Apart from that, there is nothing wrong with it and you can eat it.

    You mustn't be too hard on yourself, I think as "Young Mr Grace" would have said; "You've done very well."
    Far more successes than failures, is all for what any of us can only hope.

    I've it were absolutely perfect, they could re-make "The Wizard of Oz" in your garden!

    Well done Capney. I think you have had a lot of success there.
    What really matters is - are you happy with the results ?
    All else is relative and doesn't matter a diddlysquat.
    Enjoy your success.

    Me too.. I have been moaning a bit aobut not having covered the cabbages and the black kale and it now looks lacy and the rest but then I thought of all that I had harvested from the garden, and thinking back on it, I have done pretty well.
    I trying to be positive with everything I do and say and maybe it's working fro the garden too.

    I have taken to logging what I harvest now so I have an idea of the quantity. The taste, I know, will always be just excellent. :)
