It's been a bit of a funny growing season to say the least. It hasn't all been doom and gloom up on clodhoppers by a long stretch but I confess to a nagging sense of dissatisfaction and unease about the year. I'm sure a lot of plotholders have had it much worse in other parts of the country and I really feel for them, specially if they are gardening alone without much support which makes it so much harder to take the knocks.

I've been calling it the summer that wasn't, but now have a few beautiful days coming up. Still, everything is pointing to autumn's arrival. Now this is the greenhouse on your new plot, isn't it? If so, there is something to celebrate!
hi pg. spot on there! see the next post too. I love the new plot despite the masses of clearance work needed. It's just so secluded and peaceful. Like being in a seperate little world down there, hidden away from all the hustle and bustle of life. Love the sunflower pic over at PG!
oh yeah I know exactly what you mean, that sinking feeling when you can't find your plants through the weeds, when you dig up the spuds to find...there are none, when your squashes and tomatoes all die. boo hoo. Just as well I have had some little successes, I was ready to call it quits there for a while. I have called this year a learning experience, and let's face it, next year HAS to be better :-D
nice pics mr toad...
Yes...not the best year...but we've got a bit of an indian summer going on here just now. Almost too hot to dig but the tomatoes we planted in the second greenhouse are actually ripening and they are delicious.
