Every year my little garden produces more and more food as I become more organised and accepting of what will not grow in the ground. This year I lost a big bed full of shallots to critters - they waited till they were nice and big then decimated them. This years biggest success is tomatoes, I have them everywhere - in the greenhouse, vertical pods and random pots. I have had a handful a day and there are many more to come before I pack up for the winter. Very proud of my heirloom tomatoes as I was running out of seed having lost every plant for the last 2 years. They just look so beautiful and eccentric. Here is my little Kuri squash and there are a few more to mature on the plant. My little apple tree is groaning under the weight of fruit and this is only its second year. It cost me £8 on offer from D B Browns so am very happy with it. My patio weed clearance is going well, have lmost done the first half ready to plant creeping thyme if the weather warms up a little.

All he was doing was sleeping and working on the laptop.

So on my birthday he presented me with a trophy which says 'no longer a runner up now a winner' - dont know who was more choked up him or me. I had a lovely day, lunch with Mum, trip to Hobbycraft - which Mum loved. Then we went to see Jenni and Michael. She presented me with a certificate to say I am now Lady Jayne Egan! and a huge bar of chocolate. Mum gave me gladioli's, Jen gave me chrysanth's, I bought myself roses(the day befo
