I will be honest I popped in here as I thought you might have had a great craft purchase haul from a charity shop visit and were sharing your stash photos

I do think it’s a great bit of gardening work

I had to laugh, you are funny.
Which crafty creations are you making at the moment?

Thank you, poor Robert hasn't seen the logan berries because I eat them when I'm picking the runner beans as they are side by side, hence no photo of them.
My excuse is that I was brought up with a big garden full of fruit we could eat as we played.
That's also why I'm not as keen on the fruit and veg in the shops, we were spoiled as it was either in season or stored in some way and Dad didn't use nasty sprays either.

Ah thank you I have plans for some sewing as we have just got back from a trip away in the van. I have got a card making course booked for later this month.

Well your garden output look lovely, your childhood memories of family gardening also sound brilliant. I like a bit of pickling myself !!

You live in Ayrshire and that's the best you can do on the tattie front? They'd hardly pass the riddle.....why, when I was a laddie, working in the howker squads, it took two hands to pick up one tattie in Ayrshire.....the fact that I stood on and reburried the rest of the shaw, is nether here nor there (although the farmer was mystified as to the crop failure in parts of his field).

And as for they other red things, they came from Lanarkshire or ( whisper ) Clyde Valley (for the nobs) and were labelled "Scotch",. As for those green peppery looking objects they were reputed to come from Mexico, or Tarbolton as it was locally known and not because of the sun, sea or sand (with apologies to funsters from Tarbolton.... you snowflakes).

Ps Mr and Mrs AK.......Nice job. Growing your own stuff is a privilege not to be downplayed or disparaged, so enjoy.

PPs...you'll note that I failed to mention the beans......too many childhood memories of ghastly culinary mouthfuls . I'll leave it there.

PPPs I'm from Wigtownshire so I get a free pass at slagging Ayshire types and besides, our tatties are delicate, tasty and first to market, so there.

Oi you, there's nothing wrong with those spuds..... I still have some out there, but these have been nice lifted while they are still thin skinned, cleaned, cooked and roasted or mashed with the skins still on them.

I hear they eat their babies is Tarbolton. Not sure if they boil or BBQ. Only kidding.

Mr.AK only does the eating bit.

Oh that's a shame about the beans, I don't like them from the shops at all, they are left to get large and stringy.
These are so nice, I even managed to find a shredder just like the one I used when I was a child.

Somebody has to come from Wiggy, never mind.
I'm not from Ayrshire, but I'll introduce you to MrAK who is, you would both just have a laugh and I could take the proverbial out of both of you.

Our tatties come out of the garden and into the pot before they can blink, beat that.

I can't, but I know my onions and they are currently stored in a cool dry place ready for the pre Christmas barter sessions!

I hope you had enough of those spuds to make a meal.
That beetroot is a monster, I don't like them, but I may try growing some because Robert does.

Robert hates vinegar so that is a no, no here.
That is a great shame you don't have that recipe, could you experiment.

Sarson's Malt Vinegar poured onto searing hot Chips [with Fried Egg] is to die for! [the cholesterol will take care of the act itself ...]

Can you grow me some, fatty preferred.

I'm known for my shiny disposition but as a snowflake ( today) you're not allowed to comment on my shape.

 

[bigwood]

We have been surprised by the amount of tomatoes we have had this year. Managements friend gave her a couple of plants grown from seed. Compared to the bought plants from the garden centre they have gone mad.
The only thing now is using them before they go off. There are only two of us here now.

 

[Nirvanauk]

I grew some purple potatoes this year for a change they tasted as bad as they look!

I won't if you don't about mine.

I made chutney last year and I plan to make soup and freeze it this year.

they tasted as bad as they look

That is such a shame.

Any pic with meat in it?

Slow roasted lamb, roast potatoes, runner beans & Yorkshire pudding........you will have to use your imagination i'm afraid.
