We have had lots of good sized onions. They were grown from autumn sets which apparently means they won't store well.
So we've kept them in the bed until they are needed. It's great having such crunchy fresh onions to cook with
The calabrese started flowering whilst we were away. Sadly it tastes too bitter to eat now but I'm enjoying seeing what broccoli looks like if the buds are allowed to open.
The chillis are turning red now and they are pretty hot. The poor plant is looking a bit pale and wilty though, perhaps from overwatering or being pot bound. Probably both. 
So I put it in a bigger pot - hopefully it'll pick up soon. 
The pears are swelling nicely 
Unfortunately the spot has come back quite badly. I may have to prune this bit out but not sure if it's allowed at this time of year - I don't want the tree to get an infected wound and lose even more pears.
I made a little posy, elegantly displayed in a drinking glass! Pot marigolds, wild marjoram and rocket flowers from the veg patches and purple loosestrife from the bog garden. I love having flowers in the house but rarely do because they make me sneeze. So far so good though :-)
