A Very Warm Busy Harvest Time.

 

 Luisa plums coming ready right after the Billington have finished.
 
 The most perfect tomato picked so far ( after several buckets full.)
 It weighed 315 grams.
 Courgette or zuchinni has almost become a dirty word. Just so many...some getting too big by hiding.

 A large savoury scone tray bake I made at the weekend. We ate some but I cut it up and froze 3/4s. Our own tomato and tomato paste and herbs . Pity I had to buy the cheese and olives.
 I spent all this  morning cutting back the passionfruit vine which was collapsing. Hope it survives. It was my own fault for not cutting it back hard after last years crop ( of over 500 ) 

*****
 This is how far my fancy ball of wool went.
 I am joining in now the best match I could find but its the wrong ply so I am doubling it.
 I also made one cushion cover.
 Roses struggle in this heat, even with frequent watering. These buds opened in the vase. Lovely smell. Pretty face.

Your harvest is definitely keeping you busy. Your tray bake looks great. I bet it smelled delicious.

Ooh, those plums look delicious! (I don't like tomatoes, though.) Happy New Year to you and R.

Thanks for your comments. My worms in the worm farm love courgettes thinly sliced. Don'y ask me how I know!
