Yesterday, we went down to the lottie where we saw Julie, who kindly gave us some beetroot and she also showed Plum some pretty little gourds that she is growing so that she can show them in a decorative bowl in her porch. This is something Plum would love to do.(perhaps next year Julie will give her some advice on how to go about it). This year, however, Hazel said that Plum could have a couple of hers when she has dried them out.
Reg (4 plots down next to Lionel) came up for a chat, and brought us up to date as to how the show went this year. Reg usually wins all the prizes for his dahlias, however, this year, there seemed to be a problem with the judges which he and Julie discussed. We were on a flying visit so didn't stay very long to chat as we were going back today to dig up the last of our potatoes (Charlottes) and probably pick the last of our courgettes and the rest of our corn to take to Terry and Yvonne.
Today, we made a path between us and Julie to make visiting for a mug of tea easier. We are looking forward to having a fire as soon as it is allowed (1 October to end of March) to get rid of the blighted tomatoes which will give us some potash for the rasberries and strawberries.
