Put these to ripen in the greenhouse

 

Have they started erecting the marquees yet? The tail end of subtropical storm Ernesto is supposed to be smashing into the UK this weeked

 

They waited for that to pass

Very busy in the fields at the moment



I'm nearly ready, got a fair to middling chance with the rhubarb

 

Ta

Owcho is taking a break this year, he'm still basking in the attention from Shineyland

 

No prize for rhubarb but got 2nd for plum tomatoes and spud in a bucket.

3rd for beans and sunflower

Highly commended for the candy wine and the moonshine
