Late
in September, my crop of zucchini was still ongoing and the gentleman I work for weds and Thurs PM gave me his hazlenuts. I also had 2-3
apples from the bramley tree and a half dozen from a fellow plotster.
As you can see in my next picture, some of my corn turned out well
and some did not. I think it looks like mommy and child growing in
the same cob with a pappy corn.....lol.
My
first shot of the new month is of crops gathered from the plot; a
couple of second growth strawberries, the last 3 misshapen corn cobs,
included. As you can tell from the next picture, showing my
windowsill at the start of the new month, I have an array of crops
drying out ready to store or ripening up ready to eat. This includes
my first ever crop of lentils - though I only had a few...
The
second weekend of the month, and I had gone to the tip with Liz -
whilst chattering over a coffee afterwards, it was decided to also
pop into the DIY store as we both had small projects in mind. Liz
wanted to paint outdoor plant containers and I wanted my kitchen
work-table easier to clean until such time as I could afford a
kitchen station with which to replace it. THIS is the answer Liz came up with
when I asked if it were possible to tile a wooden table...
This
being the table before I began, I am sure you can see that although
the wood below is kept clean - the table coverings are gross and
difficult to 'wipe over' clean after use or spills. I was fed up of
tablecloths that rucked up under a surface wipe and plastic boards
that got gunk underneath...
Just
taking off the plastic boards shows you what less than a week of use
does to the work surface...
Yes,
definitely time to bring on the new cover idea!
