Just ate the first home grown strawberry  Very sweet and full of flavour , big fat and juicy  Now waiting for the rest 

  Ours are all finished now ... still had many with cream / ice cream and made 8 bottles of jam .. so a decent crop this year

There's some very odd shaped ones on one plant  They flowered then didnt seem to grow much

Had first lettuce for tea today  Cucumber plant is looking very sorry for itself though , lower leafs are holed and plant has only produced one cucumber but it was quite big

Sounds like slugs and snails are having a feast. Go out after dark, find and splatter them.

Shoulda fed em tomorite or similar 

Middle of Sept now....hope they ripen before we get a frost....my advice would be....as soon as they start to ripen...ie turn orange....pick em and leave them in a sunny window sill...they'll carry on to ripen 

I got rid of a big dish of toms the other night turning them into tomato soup.....trouble iv'e another big dish now full now....still, they are in the fridge, so will keep for a while before they get turned into soup as well.

Also Ive got nearly 2kg's of courgettes waiting for me to do summat with them....soup i expect  .... Freeze the soup....great for the winter months

Yep , been feeding them regular ... thanks for that tip about picking them and ripen them on the window , didnt know that  This was a single tomato plant i bought for 99p in the sale , it looked pretty decent and has all of a sudden sprouted loads of fruit , big as goose eggs  Got it in the greenhouse though
