Doing a bit of research on the train and a pack of Ailsa Craig onion seeds from Dobies was 65p in 1994. Today the same pack from Dobies is £2.99. That’s a massive 76% more than inflation would suggest. At Kings seeds they are £1.99 for nearly twice as many seeds. That’s why I choose Kings seeds for most of my orders. #enshittification is everywhere.

As the nights draw in, October is a great time to reflect on this year's harvest and plan the next. Grab a cuppa and start designing your 2026 layout on VegPlotter. A good plan now means a great harvest later!

It might be october but most of my Jonagold apples are still on the tree. They get sweeter and sweeter the longer they ripe!

The tomatos are still going strong to but the first spots of the usual phytophthora are apearing on the stems.
It's going to be tomato soup this sunday.

Enjoy your weekend!

Kale is growing well, hopefully it will be ready when everything else has died. ☠️

This is my first year of growing daikon radish. I want to use it with home grown chinese cabbage to make kimchi. But now I've red that daikon can be somewhat poisoness, in the worst case causing a heartattack. I wonder if that is true?

Found this creature from another world in the garden the other day. I did not know there was a portal nearby.

French bean 'Speedy' does a good job this season. I have sown it multiple times over the last months to be able to harvest for an longer period. 🫛

This season I'm growing a climbing french bean called 'Cobra'. It gives a good crop but I do not really like the flavor and texture. Even when picked young, they are not as tender as I was hoping for!

I do like the look of the giant leaves though.

Yesterday I harvested the first Uchiki Kuri pumpkins of the season, which seems earlier than usual to me. But they where definitely ready!

Over the last couple of years the garden has been neglected but this year we made a start to get things going again. #homegrown #vegplot
