Oh dear. This blog rather ground to a halt over the summer, didn't it? Sorry folks. Children to look after, holidays to go on...etc. etc.
So, how did I do in the garden? We-ell, not so bad for a beginner, I guess. Actually, not that well at all but I did manage a nice crop of Pink Fir Apple potatoes. Admittedly some were tiny, but they were delicious. I'm still growing my corn, although I am starting to despair of it ever being ready for harvest, and we've had cherry tomatoes all summer long. I'm also still waiting to harvest TR's remaining carrot.
Next year I have far grander plans for my potager, which is a fancy-pants name for a vegetable garden. I'm hoping for a bean hide (tipi-like structure, made out of canes and runner beans), some peas, more potatoes and tomatoes, herbs and maybe some onions.
And now for the next challenge... I'm not sure what to go for, but I'm thinking something about housework, as I'm newly inspired to keep the house tidy. Or I might take up the challenge of 'Buy Nothing New for a Month'...but that actually might be genuinely difficult!
