Growth

Autumnal weather is creeping slowly but surely.Things are starting to die back, colours fading. I enjoyed growing stuff in my veg beds, yielded some knock out potatoes.I have never grown
Potatoes before, organic ones rule.They were fluffy and creamy.I grew other stuff but ate them all ready so got nothing to show you there! I did try to grow runner beans hopeless.the slugs were having none of it.There is a happy ending to this story.The other day I sat at the bus stop talking to a old fellow, and we got talking about vegetable growing.Told him about my disappointing runner beans crop, just so happens he has an alottment and was on his way home from there.He had a bag full of runner beans.What he did next suprised me, he only gave of what he had picked how kind.know the proof is in the tasting, delicious.Yum x

  2. Lovely looking spuds Joy, well done, although pity about the slugs having your beans! What a lovely gesture for the old fella to give you his beans, and I bet it thrilled him to bits to be able to do so! It's as big a blessing to give as it is to receive!
    Hugs,
    Joy xo

  3. Joy, I love potatoes cooked anyway... they're so yummy! I've never grown my own though. Yours look beautiful! How sweet of that old guy to give you his beans! It's those little acts of kindness that help to make our days more special! I love all your pretty pictures.
