Sometimes it's just because I've already told all the relevant stories and I don't want to be the one repeating myself to everyone's boredom.<br /><br />More cages might protect plants that are otherwise at risk, such as gooseberries.<br /><br />Re waiting for harvest: green tomatoes have their uses, too. My mother used to put a slice of green tomato on top of an open-faced cheese sandwich before putting it under the broiler.<br /><br />Good luck at the Games!=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-40003142157634928062012-08-17T16:26:51.649+01:002012-08-17T16:26:51.649+01:00It's good to see you back.

It wasn't a good year for weather from what I understand for your neck of the woods.<br /><br />Portland hasn't had much heat so tomatoes haven't been doing very well but my neighbor has a bush that is huge and loaded with fruit. She asked if I liked tomatoes because she'll have plenty to pass around when they start getting ripe.<br /><br />Good luck at the Games!FiberQathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06524481267771726089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-87574640868250843372012-08-17T13:49:13.487+01:002012-08-17T13:49:13.487+01:00Enjoy games week and good luck with your entries!Enjoy games week and good luck with your entries!Gerrinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-41357327517487108392012-08-17T13:05:44.199+01:002012-08-17T13:05:44.199+01:00It is always good to catch up with you, Jean.

He came home from the hospital on Tuesday and is already walking better than than before. Modern miracles, indeed!<br /><br />Barbara M.

Broad beans in my garden are doing well, and spuds (many of them volunteers) are okay, altho' I have also seen some signs of blight too. <br /><br />Everything else is a disaster. Runner beans are puny, and unlikely to produce anything unless warm weather continues into October! Salads all munched by the pesky slugs, which abound. Oh well, there is always knitting.<br /><br />Knitlasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10694849211711608460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-28416100487272175782012-08-17T09:28:38.464+01:002012-08-17T09:28:38.464+01:00I sympathise madly...especially as we just had an ...I sympathise madly...especially as we just had an almighty storm which has knocked almost every bit of the fragile blossom (just appearing) off every tree in the district. There is also a possum which needs to be humanely trapped and released elsewhere and the blackbirds and caterpillars have eaten everything else. Being gardeners we need to plod on!catdownunderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959328192182156574noreply@blogger.com
