Nice work!
Need scale reference for the cauliflower.

 

Will add some scale when I pick it!

 

Cauliflower with scale (which I'm about to eat)

 

Digging up the final rows of my Cara potatoes - Will leave them to dry out and then "sack them up" for the winter.

 

Well my sweetcorn has come a long from those little seedlings on my windowsill back in May.

Having my first "pick" for Sunday lunch!

 

Wow!
How many did you get?

 

All I've read about picking sweetcorn says to minimize the time between picking and cooking for maximum sweetness.

 

Haven't counted but there must be about 20 cobs. Just picked two today for dinner.

 

Nice work! They may still grow more ears, if the plants are healthy enough and the weather holds.

We took a steep drop towards autumn yesterday, and it's not encouraging. The butternut squash are just setting fruit, and there're a lot more melons to ripen...

 

My pepper and tomato bonanza is coming to an end. I've put banana and poblano and green bell peppers in basically everything I've cooked for the past 2 weeks.

I dried the really hot peppers in the oven overnight for 8 hours and made dried pepper flakes of near-lethal potency. Habanero plus ghost plus cayenne. Three full spice jars of pepper flakes.

Also, I did not wear a gas mask when I ground them, so I nearly made my self sick with pepper lung. It was a fantastic experience. Lungs burning. Eyes watering. coughing and wheezing. Can't wait to do it again.

 

My Fathers grapes are in their full glory now - Cause we've had quite a hot Summer they are lovely and sweet;

 

beautiful! You can almost see how much they yearn to be fermented.

 

I will WINE if you don't do something useful with those grapes, G-Fett.

 

Would be nice to make a bit of wine wouldn't it...

 

You need to do something with them - don't let the birds have them all..

 

And then give 25% of it to me.

 

They are in greenhouse (with tomatos) so should be safe from birds.

 

That's good. I have a myrtle bush that gets its share of blackbirds in the winter.

 

My Runner Beans are still doing exceptionally well.. Have just picked this beauty... Measures in at a whopping 18 inches!

 

Holy ****, I have never seen a bean that long. You should hang it on a wall. Don't eat it or anything.

 

I've never gardened in my life but I'm about to get a garden and - as someone who loves vegetables and eats 3 times as much as a human - I'll be keen to get started.

I may have some really dumb questions over the next few months.

 

Too late. It's now in my stomach!

Welcome to the Club!

 

Nice work G-Fett!
Pretty amazing.
I have nothing to show for the whole summer. I had some pretty flowers but poof! Gone.

 

What happened?

 

The end of the summer happened.
