Clinging On To Life

This bee be here for two days, clinging on to life, refusing to cease to be a bee.

If we can grow roses outdoors almost all of the year round, what are we doing importing them from Israel, Kenya, India, Colombia or even Holland ? Thankfully, that nice Sarah Raven agrees, but unless enough of the numpties out there wake up and smell the, um, roses, we're all going to hell in a handcart.

Bristol's Fair Shitty

I've been on to my man at the council to do something about it :

Hi Greg,

Don't know if you're aware of the alleyway that runs behind Saffron House in Whitehall, from Devon Road to Johnsons Road, BS5 9AD ?
It's always been a flytipping hotspot and used to have a red 'No Flytipping' notice, before it was pulled down.

There's been a huge amount of assorted rubbish there for some time - along the whole length of the path - some of which you can see in the attached photos.

It would be good if some action could be taken about it.

Many thanks,

green lung


Dunno what bugs me more - that people dump stuff, or that I'm the only one it seems to bother enough to take action.

Brussels Sprouts

It's the first year that I've had much success with these, now that I'm planting them closer together, earthing up and feeding. I'll see if the rain this weekend fattens a few up and harvest the first next week.

Autumn Strawberries

Like hens eggs, nestling in the leaves, a few very late strawberries.

Re-cycling

Ballard Down from Swanage beach.

Red, gold & green

Yum - right on cue, there's another harvest of autumn raspberries, the last sunflowers provide food for sleepy bees and the kale responds well to constant pickings.



The celery's not bad either, although best for cooking with, not eating raw.
