2 more weeks!

Mostly August has not been too bad but I went to pick my plums last week and found someone had got there before me, there was not a plum on the tree, nor any of the trees round about. Scrumping is one thing but it's normal to leave some fruit for the owner, I think!

Yesterday I pulled out my 'courgette' I really can't face them any longer.



I hadn't cleared it for a couple of days and ended up with these!

My freezer is already nearly full of 'courgettes' but it is going to have a few more! I am faced with a weekend of frying .
I have had a few tomatoes now and they are increasing in size, the first ones looked more like red currants! The warm weather must turn them, it must. I still have loads of lettuce but I have eaten all the first sowing.

This is the second sowing, I think it will keep me going for a while, the peppers are doing well too.
I am starting to pick up 'windfalls' of apples and pears, my apples are very small but I am tempted to pick them, before the local kids do:(
