Looking good my favourite veg, realise how lucky I was as youngster We had a few acres and a lots down to fruit and veg. With old fruit trees, walnuts. hazels etc. No electric until I was 17 used to keep the milk in a bucket of water under a dense holly tree, together with a food safe. Seems such a short time ago,

I remember having one of those netting-fronted-doors wooden cupboards for cold foods Tubs.

Good morning, never been one to look back, but at the moment it seems the best option !!!! Lots of my cornish forefathers went to USA in 1800 looking forward to a new book about Ellis Island coming out in October.

Just found a walnut in old tomato tub. I wondered what squirrel had in his mouth yesterday, he has been busy burying in the garden the last few days. Had a suet fat ball…

Love the walnut and the squirrel, Tubs The rat has disappeared here, Tubs I would never try to kill it and am glad it’s gone elsewhere – probably nearer the neighbours with horses or chickens

What’s it called and who’s the author, Tubs?

In Books

Morning all, a wet night, but there are patches of blue sky 👍👍
There is a burst water main in Welney, since yesterday am, so no shower yesterday or today as it’s not going to be fixed until 8pm tonight!! Have filled a jug & the kettle up. So a strip wash this morning & my hair will just have to do its own thing😊😊. Rather than be annoyed, I was…[Read more]-

Good morning. Do the bees like the single type fuchsia i took some cuttings and they have done so well I am going to put them in my border where flowers died, one is red and the other is a most pale delicate pink. The mother plants were quite tall. Have not been a fan of the big flower ones but hopefully will be ok in my shrub border. Need another…[Read more]

Morning Tubs Some solitary bees like the small fuchsias – that’s what’s in my garden and I’ve seen them on it. Cilla @cilla might have an idea for you for the shrubs you need. Have a good day

got it wrong, not single flower but the fuchsia-magellanica type

Morning clickers. Kitten’s perked up after her steroid injection. I didn’t do much yesterday, it rained from about 10.30 to 2.30. I made ratatouille with the mini courgettes. There are still more flowers and fruits emerging but I can’t see them growing now. I pegged down 3 more strawberry runners, cut back the chives and picked a bunch of sweet…[Read more]

Morning again Cilla, good news on Kitten, and very reassuring that it makes a noticeable difference. Not so good on the sleeping though, but hopefully a walk will help. My sweet peas are finally a mass of flowers, better late than never I suppose. Enjoy your walk and day.
-
Morning Cilla Just got some tomatoes roasting – nearly the end of another season Hope you have a nice walk. Glad to hear Kitten is ok. Do you give your old clothes to a charity shop? Have a good day
-
Morning Jane. Mmm, I can smell those tomatoes, yummy Old clothes that are really past it go to a special skip at the tip where the material is recycled but anything decent goes to the charity shop. I hope you havema good, dry day, too.

They were even talking of a touch of frost in places here – yikes! 
Glad I remembered to close the cold frames. Did have some beautiful sunshine yesterday though, and looks like more of the same today.

Morning Karen. I put the leccie blanket on yesterday but didn’t need to switch it on last night. It’s proper autumnal and I don’t like the sound of frost I hope you get out to play later after the dreaded shopping.

Morning Cilla, couldn’t believe the forecaster mentioning frost last night, last frost in June and now more in September! I don’t mind cold, at the right time, rather that then endless rain. Loved your garden pics. Enjoy your day honey.

Morning Karen Blimey, potential for frost isn’t good Good to know you’ll have some sunshine today. We’ve got thick, grey cloud cover but it’s not raining at the mo. Hope you have a good day

My strawberries are re-flowering too, very confusing.

Yum.

They are looking great.

That is lovely.

I took the photos on my tablet butmthey don't do them justice. Will have to use the camera.

Gorgeous colour, and I do like your Fuchsia as well.

Next door's fuchsia Karen. Hope the newbies don't slaughter it!

Ah! take some cuttings from it just in case they do.

Fushsia looks a bit like my cutting but they can get that new gall problem. The mother plant of mine had it a few years ago. Gertie had it in her garden and it seems to be moving north, it started down here a few years ago.

This looks good is it a winter type

@cillaHi Cilla
Is this a Stock Dove? It was tucking into unripe Elderberries during July/August.

Might be a young wood pigeon Anne.

I had wondered that Karen, especially from it’s impulsive/compulsive behaviour

Your right K,

It is certainly a pigeon, young as suggested.
