A Mini? Really?

 While my morning tea was brewing yesterday..... 


I popped out to the greenhouse to pick a mini cucumber for lunch.  It was dragging the plant down and hardly a mini ! Cucumber number 9 from a single plant 😀 ......



At the allotment we are growing spring onions....


they too look like they're on steroids !  🤣 but perfect to put in an omelette or quiche.  Now I'm just willing the greenhouse tomatoes to ripen for a perfect salad 😁

--------------

During the night, I awoke to the sound of pouring rain.  At last! We had a good drenching for the gardens which continued right up to around 11am.  It's such a relief to be cooler too.

Thanks for popping in.  Stay safe and well wherever you happen to be,
Angie 💗

  3. Waiting for our tomatoes to ripen and we have flowers on the cucs. I bought more plants yesterday at the local Carnival, I keep saying no more plants, but succumb. We had a torrential downpour in the night, then mizzle on and off, I managed to get plants in the ground. Then I watched Cam Norrie get through to the next round. OH has given up on the cricket (useless lot). Xx

  6. The cucumber looks great. Home grown salad cannot be beaten, even lettuce has so much flavour and is tender to eat, yum. The best are tomatoes picked warm off the vine delicious 😋. Regards Sue H
