This is why we don’t see many plums each year, the birds start to peck at my plums, and then the wasps come and finish them off!

and then my tomatoe plants got struck by bl**dy blight!
tomatoe blight
My tomatoe plants have been doing very well this year outside, but in the last few five days, with the cooler, wetter weather, it looks like all my cordon varietys have been struck by blight!
Damn it!
Oh well, there’s always next year!
Un-earthed some more potatoes for tea this evening, this crop is from two tubers, planted in different bags.
more potatoes
and I thought I better pick me plums off the tree, we have an old victoria plum tree in the front garden, it’s very old, some people in the village think it was planted before the house was built, and the house was built in 1862! The plum tree is now crooked and hollow, and the number of plums it delivers each year dwindles now!

Some I’m surprised that this year, I’ve manged to save as many as this.
These were dug up from two plants…
Salad Anya
Maincrop Organic Lady Balfour
I’ll definately be growing more of Salad Anya potatoes next year. These have done extremely well, considering a bag of these in the supermarket is about a pound.
I’ve just had some emails from a fellow internet user I know, that are in my address book, telling me of a get rich quick scheme.
It’s called the Google Biz Kit, do not part with your money. it’s a scam!
The website may look good, but believe, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is! Also known by many other names, Google Easy Profit scheme etc
Please don’t send me anymore emails!
ITS A SCAM!
This is Teddy, a very friendly sheep, trying to steal pig nuts when I’ve been feeding the pigs…

There’s only one drainpipe that drains the water off the roof ofg the house at the front when it rains, and because we don’t have any drains, it just soaks away. I’ve had a few issues with the flatpack water butts from Rainmate, they leaked, but after some recplacement internal liners they sent me, and I’ve eventually replaced and installed them, I’ve now completed my rainwater harvesting project, I use alot of mains water in the fish house already, so it’s good to use rainwater in the garden.
Three Rainmate Water Butts
It was raining alot when I took these pictures, so you can see the flow of water running into the water butt. I have three water butts linked together, so when the first one fills, it overflows into the next and so on. Each water butt holds 200 litres of water, and with the recent rain we’ve been having in Yorkshire only takes minutes to fill all three water butts. There’s also an overflow, so when all three are filled, the water flows back to drain, (soak away) eventually I’ll connect this to some soakaway housepipe and embed it in the border under the hedgerow.
