the rocks.This are the photos! the power of the sea.I think we had the tail end of new york storm.

On home grown

Its been  a few days since I've bloged,I am in Madeira at the moment were I'll be for the next two months.But before I left england I did harvest my chillies and bell peppers.

Home grown

We also picked a few tomatoes,The weather has turned, its getting chilly

Borlotti beans,and tomatoes

I hope the rest of the tomatoes will ripen.

Home grown

It has been sometime, since I've posted anything,so here goes
I did loose a lot of my tomatos due to bligth, but was lucky with the ones I had in pots.
The sweet peppers and chillis are growing well.
Now for the butter nut squash,my first time has only produced one.

the ones the bligth dind't get

That is, one that has grown,because all the others has dropped of.

Homa grown

This morning I've spent best part of it looking for caterpillas on my purple sprouting brocolli.
Looks as if its going to be a waste of my time.
Still the borlotti beans are  growing ok,

The first  ripe tomatos

The tomatos that are growing in pots looks good,this is my first pickings.

Home grown

The season started well,vegetables were doing well,had a good show of tomatos,but then the dreded
blyte have arrived, and I'm left with hardly any tomatos.
So I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the tomato plants that I have in the pots.

From this to nothing.

I'm glad to say the bell peppers and chilly are doing well.
