 YEY! My first "bountiful" crop of nearly all types of bean! Hello guys! I am sorry I have not been on a while, super busy, well, homework, schoolwork, holidays (Lyme Regis, then Longleat) but my fruit and veg are doing well, I am afraid I didn't get a picture of the strawberries, I was too busy stuffing them in my mouth. But I have attached (hope it works! although it is pixely, it is still OK) Top Left: Mange Tout, minimal fuss, I will have them for my tea! Top Right: Broad Beans, they were a bit disappointing, remember, DON'T put them in with Jerusalem Artichokes, (not that I did, He He) Bottom: French Beans, they will have more to come, but this is just this picking. Also, I have been looking after a White racing pigeon, (that flew into my garden the day I got back from my holiday) and it's doo doo's (poo) is very runny and tinged with green, I know it's not my pigeon, but what IS wrong with it? Thanks, Beth

| Plus When potatoes die (go yellow) are they ready to eat? Obviously after some scrubbing and cooking but, you get the idea!

| Your pigeon has diarrhoea I reckon...possibly too much green/fresh food as opposed to seed? Yes, eat your taters. I just dug up my main crop by mistake (doh!) but they will make nice potato salad as all small

| I think that would explain her nibbling at grass, as she was ravonous when we fed her some bird food. I am looking forward to digging the taters up.

| Hello Soobeth, lovely to see you there - haven't seen you for a while. You've got some grear looking beans there. I'm sure that poor pigeon would like some. It's probably been starving if it's been trying to find food in the flooded areas. Hope your potatoes are great. Do let us see a pic.

| Your potatoes look great Soobeth. What variety are they ? Watch them carefully while cooking. A lot of people have had a problem this year with them cooking very quicky and going mushy with all the rain. I've been steaming mine.

| Soobeth, try washing your hands with some washing up liquid and a teaspoon of sugar ( it works like a hand exfolliator). Give your hands a good wash round with the sugar and soap before rinsing off. Then apply some hand cream as your skin may be quite dry then.

| Hi Soobeth, it's good to see you back. Your beans & potatoes look great, hope you enjoyed eating them. Your Jerusalem artichokes should be ready soon, when the tops have flowered (they don't always do that though) & the leaves start to die off. You can leave them in the ground all winter & just dig them up as you need them, try rummaging around near the roots to see if you can feel any tubers that are ready. How's the bonsai going?
