Apparently Autumn begins this evening! The temperatures today are in the 30's. We had rain 3 times in summer, that day of heavy rain, at the beginning of September, was exactly that, a day.
Looking back over last years blog I see I wrote the same about my peppers that I am writing this year, look healthy, have flowers and that's it. Though this year I have had peppers from my Ourense plants so that is obviously the way to go. Other people get peppers though :(
My courgette this year has been just right, plenty without being overwhelming, I hope I can manage the same brand next year. My tomatoes have done well as well and most of my leeks appear to have survived the move, they just need to grow a bit now as they are very behind.
All in all summer has been very satisfactory.

September
5th September
The weather seems to have changed, I hope so. It has been soooo hot and dry but last night it poured, hopefully we will continue to get some rain occasionally.
Last week I planted out my leeks, they are very small still, too small to plant out really, especially as the weather was so hot, but too big to keep in a pot indoors. I have been having to water them well but they seem to have survived the move, most of them anyway. I have also bought 3 cabbage plants, the first time I have grown cabbage, they seem to be OK as well.
I have loads of tomatoes, just Tigerelle and Cherries at the moment but my bigger ones are just changing colour.
Someone has picked my plums again, fortunately this year I managed to get a few but the majority have disappeared. I'd love to know who it is and why they think it is OK to take my fruit, it's not as if I had very many plums anyway. If I had a bumper crop I wouldn't mind people helping themselves, presumably they would leave me some then. Blackberries are the only other fruit at the moment, they are very tasty this year.
