you ..rose ..me up

Thanks for showing us youe veg, I think I've just realised why my Squashes failed. The leaves on mine were enormous but the fruit was like marbles, the leaves on yours are much smaller but your squashes are great.
The yellow rose looks like one called 'Freedom' cheeky thing, winking at you.

hi Heron,to be honest i cut most of the leaves off as did not see the point of great big leaves taking all the goodness from the plants..could be Freedom ,i lost the markers in strong winds we have been getting..dont think it was cheeky .. just trying to cheer me up..which it did lol :o))

I`m glad you felt better after your rose blinked at you, it obviously wanted to cheer you up! Your veggies are doing really well and I love your comfortable looking cucumber. :o)

lol Sandra,i did feel much better..glad you like the lazy cucumber :o))

Glad the visit to the plot cheered you up, Joan, wonderful how it can do that ! That cucumber looks huge, I suppose I'm just used to regulation sized ones from the supermarket. Do you freeze the runner beans ?

some i do Shirley, but i am making soup for tmoz as we type.. lol with courgettes:not tried any of our cucumbers yet.. got all shapes & sizes..:o)

Ooh, I love ome made soup, I used to make leek and potato soup when we had our allotment. I'm going to ring the council again tomorrow re. the disgusting state of my Dads old plot, it's 5ft. high weeds now. : o (((((

No wonder its getting so big...lazing around in a hammock all day...lol! ;o))

you will have to get the pans out tomorrow Shirl & give OH a treat.. ohh leek & potato mmm ..let us know how you get on with them and find out if they have rules as to how often a plot is tended or not..
