And autumn nearly upon us, too

I was driving through Newport yesterday and in one area, three Council
sweeper vans were out. The roads were ankle deep in
leaves dropping off of the trees.
Although in other areas, leaves on the ground were there none.

Must be Newport Gwent, they cant find their way around on their own

(Duck for cover and hastily appologises to Newport.) Here in Powys, I've
not seen a road sweeper for ages, they only do the rural roads when
someone complains I think.

It is Newport Gwent indeedy.

Our bins are collected on Mondays and the road-sweeper vans do their
bit on Tuesday mornings

Same here Kate. I think mine are waiting for the blight to set in,
then I'll have another year of NO ripe tomatoes!!! However, a friend
with a greenhouse full of plants has only just started picking.

I think that this is about the 'normal' time for tomatoes. Our local
gardening club annual show is on 21st August, and I remember every year
being in a panic because I only have 1 or 2 tomatoes ripe. So starting to
pick before the end of the July is, IMHO, quite 'good'.

It depends on the variety - I have had Gardeners' Delight ripe for a few
weeks in the greenhouse and a few days outside but Favoryt inside is
still green. (Worth waiting for though)
