It certainly sounds as if you are being kept busy but at the same time pausing enough to treasure the season. There's usually more time to catch up with blogging once the long dark nights arrive. The same here with sweet peas - covered with aphids in early September but came back strongly :) What are you going to do with your pumpkin crop?Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-75789627374990921612013-10-14T20:50:05.458+01:002013-10-14T20:50:05.458+01:00It's great to hear that you're enjoying yo...It's great to hear that you're enjoying your training and it sounds like there's a lot happening on your plot, too. I've never grown pumpkins, and fancy doing so just for the fun of it! <br />I love your gardening companion, he/she is obviously becoming quite friendly.<br />And petanque always sounds a bit exotic. I wonder if it will attract any kind of following where you are.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792703802542843791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-53363151438140800952013-10-14T20:40:36.650+01:002013-10-14T20:40:36.650+01:00Petanque, huh.

I still have beetroot and courgettes in the kitchen garden, and a few flowers - and some rather puny celeriac.But that's it for this year, I didn't even manage to sow any salad leaves or orientals to over winter in the greenhouse.Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-59871642578716771472013-10-14T19:29:17.411+01:002013-10-14T19:29:17.411+01:00Bless you, Elaine thanks, yes I feel very privileg...Bless you, Elaine thanks, yes I feel very privileged and want to make the most of my time in the garden.

What an amazing place to be training. Keeping up with everything is a bit of a juggling act isn't it? I sometimes wish I could press a pause button so I can tackle jobs and then feel a little less overwhelmed. Your photo of the petanque pitch did make me chuckle. I spent quite a bit of time in Huddersfield in the past and I can't say I remember boules being popular. ;)wellywomanhttp://www.wellywoman.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-72453905200249322252013-10-13T19:17:38.592+01:002013-10-13T19:17:38.592+01:00Well I'm glad your new job is going well and i...Well I'm glad your new job is going well and it sounds like you're getting everything under control at the plot.

It's good to have a robin as a gardening friend, their song is so beautiful while you're working.

Hopefully I'll make up for that next year.<br />A lovely post and terrific pictures.

I've been meaning to visit the garden for years but I've put it on my list for when it opens again so that I might eventually get there. How lovely that you have a little robin following you around. There's one at the allotment who comes and perches nearby when we're digging. Are your pumpkins for culinary use or Halloween? They've reached a good size.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-15399857341788062552013-10-10T20:19:12.693+01:002013-10-10T20:19:12.693+01:00It opens again in April, but you should definitely...It opens again in April, but you should definitely visit as its not far from you.Annie_Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140041665657746319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7980536948969347626.post-40059870407729359132013-10-10T20:13:53.351+01:002013-10-10T20:13:53.351+01:00Our roses start the year covered in greenfly and t...Our roses start the year covered in greenfly and then they disappear but I think our pest detectors are the blue tits.<br /><br />Must put York Gate on our to visit next year listSue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
