Lovely pic @AuntyRach. Autumn is my favourite time of year. Hope you catch up on your sleep a bit. My toms have been slower too, and they're undercover, but May was very cold so nothing moved at all. They've been ripening over the last five or six days though - that warm spell at the weekend helped. I keep eating them when I'm outside, so not as many make it inside to the kitchen Is it the same hog that was 'missing' @Hostafan1, or a different one?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Love the 🦔 stories ......never seen one here so nice to hear about others.
Late toms here too 🍅. Think many will soon be green when the old greenhouse gets taken down, for project new greenhouse to begin .......but that’s so exciting that I will not complain.
Not long til holiday now @AuntyRach ......hang on in there 🤯. Great pic 🍁🍁🍁
Chicklet’s new car is now on the driveway (its been christened Mouse 🐭). She starts her job on Monday, so all big girl stuff now 👧🏼. Makes me feel 👵🏼
Mentioned a long time ago @Fairygirl ...wouldn’t expect anyone to remember .......its been a slow burn (planning permission, coz of where we live, finding a builder to sort out a bit of ground levelling and building a base, etc etc) but things are finally coming together 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We've had quite a lot of little toms from the self sown yellow pears but all the others, inside and out, are later than last year. Bit frustrating as I may nothave enough to make a decent haul of passata for Possum to take back to Belgium next week. Better go and have a chat with them.
No hedgepigs here but I assume they're around as we had a corpse out in the autumn last autumn. There are all sorts of places for them to hide and burrow and snuffle without ever being seen about so assume this one was ill.
Cleaning house today as we'll be out all day tomorrow. Fruit picking and freezing this pm. OH has found a tree with loads of Mirabelle plums down the back of our plot and the lanes are full of ripe blackberries.
I hope Mouse turns out to be a good 'un @Chicky. Good luck with greenhouse manoeuvres.

gorgeous leaves ... make sure you get some ‘you time’
The sky is brightening and there are little blue patches ... looks promising 😎
Ive been meaning to say, my tomatoes are being particularly slow to ripen this year ... they’ll probably all he ripe when we’re away 🙄
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
My tomatoes are the latest they’ve ever been this year too. They are outside.
Have a good day all.

Ooh - have I missed you mentioning a new greenhouse?
Or have I just forgotten? That's more likely
