My chillies this morning I’m so happy about these little characters.

A disturbed night

Kipling Gardens Rottingdean Sussex England today.

The new lift at Marine Parade Brighton

My first berlotti beans

My leeks have just about survived the heatwave and are bedded in now.

My first ever cucumber, I feel very responsible for its welfare….

The plot tonight is very very dry however much I water it…. scorched earth.

Belotti beans.

These are called Ecinops a kind of space alien flower!!

Watering the allotment tonight keeping the leeks and BABY lettuce alive….

Tomatoes chillies and cucumbers all seem happy….

Drying my allotment shallots before chopping ahd freezing.

Xmas spuds all planted they take 16-20 weeks so let’s hope it’s a late frost this year #Hove

Today’s haul are drying nicely before storage.

Zorro after 2 sausages….

A few of my tomatoes…. these are Chocolate Cherry & Black Russians.

He’s such an interesting dog…

We’re going through palliative care months at the moment for Zorro my heart dog… there never was nor there will be a dog like this.

Huge jumbo garlics grown on my allotment from IOW cloves, I grew 6 this year but next year I’ll grow even more using some saved cloves, my clay soil suits them very well it seems.

Coal Drops Yards, not been here for a while- it’s huge!!

Woke up at 2.59am feeling ‘weird’….. did the earth move or something? The moon was pretending to be the sun….#Hove

I pet/house sit now with Trusted Housesitters. No personal pets now but a beloved local dog that I regularly walk.

My early apples are doing well

Planted x36 leeks today, fitted 30 into this bed and the rest are with the beans.

Jumbo garlic flower at my allotment- I’m hoping to collect seed from this.
