My Black Russians have succumbed to blossom end rot. It hasn’t rained here in about six weeks which is extremely unusual. I hate to think how the farmers are coping. Also does anyone make dill pickles? I have some cucumber plants specific for the purpos but the little cucs aren’t ready at the...

That’s awesome Artemis!

I have sungolds too irishlass. My father in law grows them every year and they are really heavy cropping and taste amazing. I have three plants from him. In total I have 12 tomato plants this year in 7 different varieties lol

My chioggia beets harvested today. Might also make borscht.

Thanks dibbles, we just got a chest freezer so I am planning on freezing some different ore made soups for the winter. I will be sure to give this a go :)

Oooooh I have a load of different tomato varieties too. They are only just flowering though. I hope they turn out as good as yours! I’m also growing Crystal lemon cucumbers which should be interesting!

Ooooh the stevia is interesting, do you make a sugar substitute with it? Wonder if it’s hot enough for me to try! Your tower garden sounds really interesting!

I love seeing other people’s gardens. Would love to see some more pics!

I hit 35 and my under eye skin went crepey overnight. I am trying retinol, it’s supposed to take six months to see a change though.

It’s too hot and I can’t do any work because of the heat and it hasn’t rained for a month, and I’m british so moaning about the weather regardless of the temperature or precipitation is my favourite pastime.

I have PM's you all with the survey link and password. If anyone has any problems give me a shout :)

I had real troubles with this. I made it in foamer bottles and left it out for the people at work. There’s no heating and it’s an old 16th century water mill so it gets really cold. A white precipitate formed and clogged up the nozzle so it stopped working.

I’m sorry for not replying about the entry time CaraBou. I have had my busiest craft fair this weekend so I was totally exhausted. I usually wait until the morning of the day after the deadline to do the survey as that means that pretty much everyone in all time zones has had until midnight to...

You had absolutely nothing to worry about sunrise. Such a great inspiration idea and really well executed! Thank you for sharing with us all. I don’t usually comment on entries as I wouldn’t like anyone to accuse me of favouritism! :)
