Hello everyone. 
I have started using one of the raised beds I had made in the vegetable garden. I've planted, under a green netting cloche, Japanese onions and some Tundra cabbages. I keep having to push in the onions as some work their way on to the top of the soil but most of them have rooted. The little cabbages look happy and are growing.
I've also planted a "Martlet" red gooseberry and a "Ben Connan" blackcurrant and look forward to fruit next year.
My Victoria Plum, around 3 years old, isn't doing well. I thought there might be a pollinator in a neighbouring garden but perhaps there isn't. It's not produced fruit yet. Do they take time to establish and become productive? It's suffering from lack of water, I think, too, as we've not had an rain to speak of for quite a while.
I've also got what I think is a turban squash. Someone said it's a butternut, but it's not the shape or colour of that variety. It's round, slightly flat at top and bottom, and dark green.
I've tomatoes in the greenhouse but they don't want to ripen and I'll probably bring them indoors today.

I've only grown cherry type tomatoes this year and have been happy with the results. No problem over ripening in the greenhouse. Did you start your's late Penny?

Yes, Don. I did start my tomatoes late as the greenhouse wasn't put up until late in the summer. They're the cherry type, too. I've got them in a drawer and will see if they ripen.
I've just come down from the stop of a pair of steps. I sawed off a huge branch from the Bramley, which was hanging into the next garden. Lots of apples now. I'll store some but a lot will go into the compost.

| No problem over ripening in the greenhouse. Do Myron Ullman and the Penney Board of Directors have any sense of decency? Dump this stock before it is too late. Penney is just a few .
