Doing well thanks.
News, news and more news
I have named my Jamaican chilli pepper plant Usain. I went away for a week and it had grown two foot!
it has literally bolted....
That's not buffering by the way, it's just a photo.
Sorry. I'll stop the the Usain Bolt jokes now.
My potatoes are ready for harvest. Woop, woop!
My first cucumber of the year has appeared, yay!
After months of waiting I finally have some tabasco peppers growing. Thank you heat wave!
I've also grown some Kohlrabi... Unfortunately I did not take any photos before I cooked it. So I went on to Google image search to find a suitable picture to show you what it looked like. Alas my search was in vain. I could not find an exact match. So I'll just say they look like and hopefully you can conjure up a mental image. A cross between a radish and a turnip with a bit of fifty's B-Movie monster thrown in for good measure.
In a word ugly.
Speaking of fifty's B-Movies my cabbage patch has been the terrible victim of the Pieris Brassicae. Better know as the cabbage butterfly...
There are literately hundreds of caterpillars throughout my sorry looking greens.
The purpose of this beast is breed, eat and repeat.
Apparently the female can lay twenty to hundred eggs. They have been very busy butterflies and
as you can see my cabbages are well and truly losing the war to the very hungry caterpillars.
Right then time to hang up the gloves and have a cup of tea!
Ta-ta for now.
