How are the veggies coming along?

Damson wine? I was tempted to with some of ours, only decided against it as I've 101 other things I need to do at the moment. I've a friend who makes it, it's very good.

Tried growing tomatoes in hanging baskets.  In essence,  it worked but the brand is one with a right tough skin which I don't like! Such a shame!

Picked the majority of our one small tree this evening. Best year it's had in a long time. It was laden. 

 

 

 

Plus a couple more small bowls that we've already eaten. That lot is destined to be stewed and bottled tomorrow. I thought about jam but there's still too many jars in the cupboard from previous years. 

 

The strange thing is that here was not one single worm in all that lot. Very surprising as there's normally a good few. Something to do with the extremely dry summer I wonder?

 

 

my next-door neighbour gave me some half of them had worms in the end i chucked the lot in the bin

Scared of a worm. Poof. Aim for it. Show it who’s boss. 

I picked an apple up from a mate’s garden the other day. Had an obvious wormhole. No hesitation. No surrender. Straight into the arsehole end of it and ate everything bar the stalk. I like to think I made some sort of point there.
