The local store is selling, white, orange and green (fairy tale variety). Isn't that borage a delight. Thinking I'll get some seed for next year.Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977509261429741652.post-39464165847135041912011-10-14T10:55:05.436+01:002011-10-14T10:55:05.436+01:00Lots going on, great to see.

I think the soil has to be COMPLETELY stone free which involves too much sieving and hard work for me!Matronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705506930308472527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977509261429741652.post-61688733547901747412011-10-09T21:24:54.089+01:002011-10-09T21:24:54.089+01:00We are actually warm here.

Bad luck about the carrot fly though. Sorry to hear you've had such bad weather lately.<br /><br />My courgettes were very poor this year too, ate the last one today but have only had about half a dozen in total. The biggest glut I had this year were the climbing green beans, ended up composting a lot of them, they were ready just as we were going away on holiday so got wasted, no room in my freezer.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12502956712451039318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977509261429741652.post-83617731700064388292011-10-09T18:44:17.185+01:002011-10-09T18:44:17.185+01:00You are still harvesting... and planning for good ...You are still harvesting... and planning for good food from the freezer come winter. <br /><br />That parsnip is huge... and funny!!Latane Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01745676377589651275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2977509261429741652.post-59646234101570274562011-10-09T03:16:23.413+01:002011-10-09T03:16:23.413+01:00Your yields are impressive when you consider all t...Your yields are impressive when you consider all the rain you've had and cooler weather! I sure hope your pumpkin is ready by Halloween! That was a lovely shot of it with the putple borage flowers--a nice mix of orange green and purple.

I can't wait to hear about the chickens...they will eat almost anything and scratch the soil at will...but they are lovely creatures. I've always loved chickens and cows and goats...we had those when I was growing up. What a beautiful parsnip...I'm sure they're lovely in a stew...my mother fixed them plain and I wasn't too fond of them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
