You turn your back for two minutes...

Been a bit quiet on the blog recently. And no it wasn't due to holidays. It was actually due to illness. The last Bank Holiday weekend, when I could have done a lot of work on the plot, I instead spent shivering in bed. Got some sort of a Flu thing that kind of knocked be sideways. So of course I didn't manage to get down the plot.

Needless to say the courgettes ended up a giant size marrows and  a whole load of them to boot. So the only decent thing I could do was to take them into work on Friday to give to my colleagues. Those they didn't take went to the canteen kitchen. I expect courgette and marrow to feature quite heavily in next weeks meals.

The last lot they turned into cakes...

 Meanwhile on the plot, after giving the plants in the greenhouse a much needed drink, there is still things which need doing. The last of the beans need to be picked.

Mind you, we still might get some more out of them if those flowers are anything to go by.

A few weeks back we put our few strawberry plants into long planters. Two main plants at each end, then we ran some of the sucker shoots through the middle. Hopefully those 4 plants should turn into 12.

The leafbeet has started to bolt to seed. But there are still plenty of small sweet leaves in there.

We grabbed a few bits and pieces from the plot. And picked our apple tree clean. Yeah, all three of them.

But those grapes just keep looking better and better.

"Plonk de Plot 30" anybody?
