there's a book coming

Hi everyone.
I've been a bit lax with writing here lately as I have have been busy with the new school year. I have also started writing an e-book about organic gardening in a small space. It should be out in the next couple of months and of course I will let you all know the details of how to get it. In the garden its harvest time and my tomatoes are going great guns and keeping the family supplied. The lettuce that I allowed to seed has finished and I have heaps of seed some of which I have planted already and some I will keep planting as long as this glorious summer weather lasts. I had a good crop of potatoes but they are now just a distant memory. My spring onions are delicious and the strawberries just keep on coming. I have planted more potatoes and have a couple of pots of broccoli that are looking very healthy. In my square foot garden one of my tomato plants turned into a tree and went over in the wind. It hasn't died though and I have laid it over an old tricycle that the kids left in the yard. It's still flowering and giving fruit but it does look a bit untidy. My borlotti beans are flowering and I'm looking forward to a good harvest from them in the autumn.
happy gardening folks
and keep an eye out for the e-book.
