I opened the back door last night to let Thor have a pee and because I had the kitchen light on - I could see loads of moths flying towards the house - it was quite eerie, I might film it tonight.

My apples are growing beautifully, picked the last of the redcurrants, birds have eaten the cherries, I am on my third picking of my red gooseberries and they are so sweet, still picking red and yellow raspberries, my strawbs haven't done as well this year.

Outdoor tomatoes really come on since I planted them out - funnily enough I was debating whether to burn them they had gone a bit leggy on the windowsill and looked the worse for wear - now they are thriving, and I am glad because they were from organic seed and a bit expensive.

Done alright with the garlic, but the onions are not what they should have been - but I will blame Thor for trampling their bed. Got tons of Blackberrys - just waiting for them to ripen.

Just heard on the news that the crop harvest is better this year - the farmers had such a bad year last year - I am so glad they are having a good 2013.

Anyone watch Allotment Wars on BBC last night?
