Went for a quick session again. Had this family hang out with me for a while. Except for a few hisses in my direction they were quite pleasant. And the first bite got me this ... tiny little one but a

Lil bounty for this eve. This was a massive tom. It was plenty for a whole salad. Some more big ones getting ready. The tom in the tubes isn't doing too well anymore. I think it's dying for some reason;

Over the last few days I've been working on this hedge. Well... former hedge. 3 of the trees were dead anyway but I've decided to remove the whole lot. It was a monster job... removing them was rather

We've got some cucumber problems. The main stem on the oldest plant died and there's some funkyness on it. I found the issue, the stem broke under its weight about a month ago but I guess a fungus finally

After two days, the toms I picked are finally dry enough to be jarred. These look so pretty! They're pretty tasty as well if I may say so myself. The kumquat is doing great! It took so long to set some

Picked a bunch of toms today. Some went into this evenings salad and the rest are into the dehydrator at the moment; they should turn into some nice little snacks. It was all a bit jungley to start with.

Been quiet for the last week, was quite busy with work but I've got one thing I kinda need to brag about. I took part in my first ever homebrew competition and while I didn't win anything, I've done pretty

Lowered and cleaned the toms again. These things are growing too fast... Managed to crack my phone's camera, grrr, so there's some 'effects' in the pics. We've got the first larger toms ripened. Cuc is

Figs! Oh yeah, it's producing again. Last year it only formed 2 figs and they both dried and fell off before reaching maturity. It looks like this year will be way better. Pretty much every branch has

With the recent lovely weather it's hard not to go fishing again, heh. This was this evenings location. Three years ago it was a great spot, we used to call it Pike paradise for obvious reasons. During

Picked some stuff for this eve's salad earlier. Toms have started producing properly now. Got the yellow, orange, red toms represented here heh; should have planted some dark ones as well this year but

Harvest time! All of the red currants, some black ones, blackberry, tayberries, raspberries and loganberries. The red currant is bare now, heh. The blackberry plants are in their 2nd year now and the're

Bit of housecleaning was in order again. Toms needed to be lowered and to have some leaves/sideshoots removed. This pepper was getting too fruit heavy and it started to lean a bit too much. I was afraid

Had another quick fishing session. This time I went in the evening, it's way too hot during the day and the fish aren't interested in eating when the sun's too strong so I got to the river at about 6-7pm.

It's aaaaalive!!!!! The little volunteer cucamelon seems to be clinging on to life. One single leaf came back and it's showing life signs. Still not sure if the plant is going to pull through but it's

These redcurrants are glorious! Next year I'm going to have to support the plant somehow as it's too fruit heavy and some of the branches look like they might be close to breaking. Blackcurrants galore

Toms are doing quite well after they've been lowered. A couple of plants have reached the top again, sooner than what I've expected. The Sungold and Cherry Sunbaby are the only 2 that I was able to harvest

The first passionfruit flower opened! This is one of @massive-pop's plants that was entrusted under my care. There's going to be a lot of these pretty flowers pretty soon. My hops kept growing. Hops is

The recent lovely weather is making my plants grow like crazy. It was time to tame them again. Before tackling the toms I decided to remove the beans; there were no more flowers forming so there wasn't
