Hi VEGETABLE HEAVEN, it's the first time I have grown the Turks Turban squash, I had an envious moment when I saw my friends on her plot last year, they look amazing don't they? and each one different. I have yet to eat one so have no idea if I will like it, but I love squashes in soups and stews.
Hi Mo, I just browsed a little through your blog and wanted to stop in and say hi. I'm still not ready for 'autumn' mode and for some reason, have never been uplifted by the colors of fall...but soon, I'm going to have no choice, as it's beginning to look more and more fall-like here, too. I enjoyed seeing the fields of lavendar in your earlier post...and your veggie harvests are incredible. You have such a knack for veggie gardening...and obviously the right place to do it & do it WELL! Hope you have a wonderful 'rest of the year'...and congratulations on (almost) 2 full years of garden-blogging;-) I think I was one of the first people to meet you!
Hi JAN, Thanks for the compliments on my veg growing, I think I have just been lucky. I do feed the soil with manure and home produced compost before planting, but then I'm afraid I forget to feed everything after that except for the tomatoes & chillies. Gosh!your right it is almost 2 years since I started blogging, scary just how time flies. Your blog title is so apt (Thanks for today ) I hope you are well and that you will enjoy the colours of autumn soon.
Hello, Just found your blog through the UK Veg Gardeners. Your pumpkins make a wonderful photo and I've enjoyed looking at the rest of your orange-y goodness! Lucky you don't live near me, I'd have to 'borrow' one of your pumpkins for my pumpkin carving!! Do you mind if I link to your blog on my site?
Hi Amy, thanks for the comment and for visting my blog. I did pop over to yours and tried to leave a comment but it wouldn't go, so I will try again in a little while. Blogger is having an off day I think !
Dear Maureen, What a wonderful WARM collection you show here! Your photography gets better and better.
It was great to see you on my blog today. To answer your question, No my mum has never visited this garden - the last time she came to USA was 30+ years ago and I wasn't gardening at that time. What is so great about having a gardening mother is being able to talk 'gardening' all the time - which we do. When I visit I take my laptop so she can see my blog.
Hi PAM, oh I'm glad your mum has had a chance to see your blog and the photo's of your beautiful garden, even if it is only when you visit with your laptop. I really love your new pond and the little cherub overlooking the pond is so lovely.
I started this blog in November 2008. I didn't know where it would go or even if I would keep at it. But here I am now into April 2014 and still blogging and enjoying it. I still remember the excitement when I got my first comment, and now I even have followers, amazing !! I also follow and read a lot of brillient blogs and have made some lovely friends in the blogging world.
It's also very useful keeping a diary about my allotment and it serves as a personal record of my achievements and of my failures. In fact when I re-read some of my older entries it makes me wonder how I managed back then to find the time to get the allotment plot up to the planting and growing stage, but I did and I grew a great variety of vegetables and fruit in my first year, and it's just got better.
If you are dropping by please feel free to leave a comment or a link to your blog, or just say hello or even e-mail me.

Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought with the golden and silver light The blue and the dim and the dark cloths Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams beneath your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams...

I love all those gorgeous colours Maureen. They make me feel happy every time I look at them!

Thanks Pam, they make me happy too, I love autumnal colours. I have just bought some more lovely tulip bulbs to plant in different shades of Orange.
Orange is the major feature! I always think Turk's Turban squashes are rather gorgeous actually, though I know many people think of them as ugly.

Wow they are lovely and what a haul. I love autumn log fires and conkers here we come!
