Pretty, productive and colourful

I'm really please with how the cucumbers have performed this year. They still have six decent sized cucumbers growing and ripening though the leaves are starting to look very moth eaten.




The citrus pips are coming along nicely and will make lovely houseplants. I've no idea which variety they are though as the labels got mixed up so it's anyone's guess

The porch seems to be the ideal growing space for the peppers and cucumbers and I will grow them in there again next year


There's still a lot of colour out in the garden and I was delighted to see more flowers on the courgettes. They've more than earned their keep and I am hoping that the yellow ones will manage to grow to a decent size before the frosts wipe them out

The pelargoniums are still looking pretty colourful though that could change very quickly. I'm keeping an eye on the weather forecast and will put them into pots and stash them on top of the woodstore at the first sign of frost.  I'll throw a fleece over them to give them a bit of protection.
