What a difference a cue makes

At the beginning of the week I harvested the cucumber as I was getting worried that we might have frost or something would eat it before us and the taste was lovely. Really crunchy and fresh I did peel it first. The plant looks like two more are going to grow so i'm hoping they do but its getting a wee bit chilly in the evening now.

The tomato plants in the conservatory are doing well, one is up to its third truss and starting to produce fruit.

Mrs aubergine not doing as well, and the one in the garden has started to be eaten by something just like all my lettuce seedings. Oh well I keep meaning to sow more lettuce but haven't. Got to go to the garden centre to get more compost too.

The pepper plant is still growing but slowly (that reminds me i've left it out the little plastic greenhouse after I watered it) It can stay there now as i'm all snug in doors.

The cape gooseberry bushes are just starting to ripen. Never tried before, they are quite firm with a sharp bite. Will be growing more next year and hope they ripen earlier as i'm sure i'll lose alot this year. I have 6 plants in my garden and also gave plants to family for their gardens.

My cauliflower seeding are doing well but I need to re pot now for them to get bigger for planting next year. This is where I go wrong I find it hard to keep them after I have potted up not sure why but some die.

Morris and the hens are doing well.

Morris went and had his nails cut Thursday as they were too long. The vet said he won't grow much more and he is in good condition with a good temperment. We are training him to use a litter tray when he comes indoors and he started doing it this evening (good boy Morris).

The hens had a cat in there fence yesterday to my shock and quick dash to the garden. They were ok after think the cat was more scared. RIRed hen jumps the fence now for a walk round our garden but goes back quick enough when you go out. Maran is moulting and starting to look baldy in places. Getting an egg most days from RIRed, they are getting bigger each time.
