17th and 18th October
Yo!
Can't beleive it is middle of october already! Been digging again this weekend, took out my beans yesterday and have lots of lovely fresh seed for next year. My compost heap is looking pretty full so i think i am going to have to start a new one to make sure that the original one is rotted down in time for spring! I found a mouse in it too so i am a bit scared to go too near it again! What a daft jessy!
Bought home a couple of Savoy cabbage, yes mum one is for you, and another red cabbag, yes shelly that is so i can pickle you one specially.
Will has offered to level the ground for the green house and get that put up for me, and he has offered to get a fence put up at the front too! bless him, he has saved me about three years work!

And all this guy wants is a 'couple of cans of Mansfield bitter' - god i'd be happy to buy him bloody shares in the company. he is a trooper!

Calabresse - enough for three meals and some for viv
3 cauliflowers - 1 each for me viv and willy,
Runner beans - yeah tonnes again
3 red cabbaage - one for viv and two for me - gonna pickle one and braise another for the freezer.
