Went down he garden today, and noticed that the rhododendron is
flowering!



Still not had any tomatoes yet! A couple are going pink now but it will
be touch and go if we get any before the cold weather / frosts kill them
off. They were hit badly with blight earlier in the year and I managed
to nurse some plants back to health with some anti-fungal spray but they
are fruiting very late.



What I would give to have a nice fat and juicy vine of red tomtoes in the
garden......Oooh, those days last year when we only had just a moderate
crop, and the freezers were full of broad beans, runner beans and deciding
which of them to keep or dry to make the room for all of the tomates and
recipes with a view to freezing them.

Roll on 2013, we are ready.
