A little late to the party but the Achocha’s are still fruiting! Also know as ‘Ladies slipper’, these funky fruits form in a rather eager climber that has covered a large section of the tunnel. They are pretty tasty(cooked they taste like green pepper) and I’ll be growing them again next year👍🏻🌱

It’s official, if you didn’t know already, growing Oca tubers are piss easy and don’t involve any kind of love or care. I chitted them, wanged them into pots and then planted them out into a small prepared bed(you can do them in pots as well). They’ll grow loads of foliage all summer but won’t produce the tubers until the days get shorter and your trousers get longer but you don’t want them to get frosted!! This lot look pretty good but I’ll leave them for a week or two more before harvesting👍🏻

Euphorbia temperature gauge! Slightly colder last night but not clear enough for any frost yet. Plenty of death in the garden and lots to clear over the next few weeks

Check out these angry lads! More Horned melons retrieved from the polytunnel today. I also discovered the rabbits have a rubber dripper fettish as they’ve chewed several tubes🤦🏼‍♂️🐰

I’d like to point out that I shouldn’t be able to pick fresh tomatoes this late in the season but it’s still not cold enough! I’d like to clear the greenhouse out but I don’t want to when it’s still producing edible veg. Maybe they’ll of finished by Christmas?😆

Check out my mouldy balls! You might be tempted to clean them off and bin everything in the compost but looking closely it’s a whole other world filled with bacteria, fungus and a load of insects all have a good old feed🪰🍅

Cucumber anyone? Last night I rediscovered these rather lovely cucumber photos from my back catalogue as I recorded an episode for @intothewildpodcast and I’d gone on one of my floppy cucumber rants😆🥒🥒

Who wants to see inside my horned melon? By the looks of things the horned melons(Kiwano) look ready to harvest and although I’d like them a bit more yellow they should be fine. Can’t wait to taste that banana and grass flavoured snot inside👍🏻😆

I’ve definitely had bigger sweet potato harvests!😂 Just about enough to eat from these few plants I had in the polytunnel. Few more still to harvest in the greenhouse but I think I’ll go back to growing in containers next year🙌🏻🍠

I’ve had bigger but they’ll stick make some nice autumn decorations around @heliganmill and then I’ll save the seed for next year. Lovely mix of colours from the Glass Gem corn and although they are not edible(too starchy) like normal corn they make great popcorn and flour👍🏻🌽

I can’t grow ginger at home! Well hold onto your herbal tea because it’s bloody easy to grow. Grab some ginger root, plant it in a pot with compost and keep it watered. I’ve doubled my money in 8 months with just water! Give it a try🙌🏻🌱

Here’s another fine “Sam Says” from @wearesproutl 🌱 If like me, you keep yourself and your man servant nice and washed then why wouldn’t you keep those used pots that you’ve used all summer nice and clean as well. Autumn and winter gives you the perfect excuse to hide out of the rain and get those pots all soapy and squeaky clean. Go on, give it a try!🪴💦💦🪴

Just when you think they’ve finished, you end up picking a shed load more with a few cheeky peppers as well! The weather is so mild and the lack of those cold night time temps is allowing everything to carry on growing.🍅

Although the delivery man decided to give it some age related marks, the first book from my former colleague @annagreenland has arrived. I must say it’s very beautifully designed and fantastically detailed book which really lays out all you could ever need to know as a novice grower. Congratulations Anna, you should be proud🌱 Go give it a read people!🥦

Well it might look like a small poo but that is a ‘Molokai’ sweet potato! Thought I’d have a little rummage in the plants as the are still growing and although it’s not going to win any awards, it’s good to see some roots forming. The longer you can leave them in the ground the better and the only thing that will force you to dig them up is if the foliage dies back and frost! Let’s hope for something more impressive in a few weeks😆🍠
