Harvest

The tomatoes are cleared out of the greenhouse now- thanks to Late Blight it is only half a harvest, but what there is, is good.
The greenhouse is now full of pepper and chili plants as it is warmer than the plastic mini-greenhouse.
The sunflowers are HUGE!! Some well over eight foot tall- I am dreading the storms on Wednesday. Next year they will have hefty stakes, eight foot bamboo is too short and not strong enough!!
The pumpkins are quietly lurking under their leaves, and the corn isn't quite as "high as an elephant's eye"....well, a baby elephant perhaps!!

I have had a week away being a cycling official....now I need dry weather so that I can attack the weeds!!!!
