Last night we had 'Chunky Soup' for supper, which was basically everything that was left from the summer crop in the veg patch, including my perfect carrot! I felt I should preserve it for immortality somehow, but Youngest thought that was taking the whole veg growing thing a bit too seriously!I believe this is what is called a 'Swiss Cheese Plant'? My Granny used to have one in her hall and she always referred to it as the 'Cheese and Wine Plant'! So, thinking to add a touch of elegance to the bathroom, I moved Henry in there:
As you can see, he is very happy, which is good, I do love happy plants!The only 'down' side is that it has recently become necessary to be armed with a machete when you want a bath!
C'est la vie en pays! Everything comes with a price!!

Well, apart from your perfect carrot, which I haven't got, your carrot crop looks a lot like mine; I pulled the last of them this morning, along with the last of the beetroots and spring onions. I also picked the last of the tomatoes and dug up the swedes and turnips and the dinkiest little parsnips. I need to read up on how to store the parsnips and turnips, but the parsnips will just about make one meal I think!
I was thinking that with the plant....but he'll love all that steam bathing!
PS....I'm BACK......
I wish we had windows in our 2 bathrooms, but sadly they are completely dark. I have a lot of my plants moved into the kitchen because we had our first frost this last Fiday night. I may need to move my lemon tree and the 2 rosemary bushes to my classroom because we are tripping over the plants around our kitchen table.
