After a slow start my plum tomatoes are starting to turn red!! Still getting Dwarf Beans and Mange-tout. The F1 Marion Carrots have put out some fab top growth, so I am hopeful for some big Carrots-very surprised that they have grown so quickly after such a late start (beginning of August), but I suppose it is down to the good weather.Magnolias now in the ground, and still lots of pruning to do!!!! You've reminded me Fruitcake-the garage doors need restaining, but I think they may have to wait until next year.
Hello, everyone. I am back on my new laptop with Windows 80 which is taking some getting used to. The fan on my old one died and could not be mended. I have hundreds of emails to answer and lots of fb friends to reassure I am still around. The computer man is coming on Tuesday to set all my apps up so i have lots of pics to send then. Mr Fothergills want to carry on the Nation of Gardeners project after October they have been so impressed with our work!
What a lovely gardening day is ahead of us in Bristol. I should be able to get my September sowings of six saladings in the potager for cut and come again salads for the rest of the autumn for Mr. Fothergills Nation of gardeners trials and the rest of my RHS collection of alliums I had from my friend for my birthday planted, plus hundreds of daffodils and hyacinths. It is so energising to see the sun shining early once more. Dull days do not inspire the same. Cooler in the conservatory this morning when I went to pick the ripe tomatoes so I think we may have had a cooler night than of late when it has sometimes made for uncomfortable sleeping. I am really glad to be back online, BizzieB.
Marion Missed you heaps, has all your scaffolding come down now?, and all fixed?.
I gave five of my curly Kale to my dad and I have planted out four in my own garden, my tomatoes are bigger than a 50p but still green, when do they turn red ? The plants them self are nearly 5ft And still flowering.
lovely to have you back Marion, it's bright blue sky today can't wait to cut the lawn, I planted all my tulip bulbs yesterday all over the garden.
I'm taking advantage of the sun and finally finishing my fences! Already my plants look fab up against the darker colours, hopefully I'll get some pics later on when everything is moved back where it should be
Proper autumnal mists here first thing this morning, lots of leaves swept up and composted in my self-styled compost bag, pond looking clear although waterlilies have finished, deadheaded and trimmed back stems and the lawns have a deeper green. In fact the garden still has a fresh look, the air a fresh feel.

Hello Marion
good to hear you are back on line. Look forward go the photos.

Admire your persistance with the fence painting Fruitcake, can only look good
