The nicotianas are almost edible!

I decided to plant some of the nicotiana seedlings I grew for a friend around the two runner beans and one achocha.

How the six aubergines, the one achocha and the nine 'Doux très long des Landes' are getting on.

Potted on 1 achocha. One out of three is better than none :)

Gunman Caught!

Or rather, air-rifleman. We're unsure whether or not it was the same that took pot-shots at us a couple of years back (See post for October 4th 2006 under Blog Archive) but at least it was confirmed today that one moronic teenager recently got caught red-handed by the Police doing something similar around the allotments. Good news, eh!

# 1296The 'Burgundy Bonnets' Scabious is benefiting from our so-far mild autumn.

# 1295I'm still waiting on my first exploding Achocha (Cyclanthera pedata). Maybe I should warn my neighbours?

# 1294The sole-surviving 'Hot and Spicy' Capsicum (Chilli to you and me) is finally redding-up!

# 1293No.07 from the 14th (See previous post). Notice how different it looks. Possibly Volvariella speciosa?

How the 'Gardener's Delight' tomatoes (potted up 27/03/08) look now I've moved them into my new cheap (30 from 60 quid) plastic-fabric 'greenhouse'. Also, note how the first achocha to be braved from inside (in the far corner) is getting on - okay I think.
