Happy Birthday to Me!
Well well well, I made it... yesterday was Produce By Paula's first birthday. I've had many successes, and a few failures since I've been blogging (I'll do a proper review of the season at a later date). Just didn't want the occasion to go by without a mention.

Autumn Jobs... even though it's almost winter
So, it's that time of year again... the greenhouse and potting shed needed a clear out, tired plants needed to be thrown out, and autumn onions & garlic needed to be planted out, so that's what I did today.
The pepper and chilli plants in the greenhouse were definitely in need of some attention... most of them were put in the compost bag, although I did manage to pick these little beauties first.
One Bellboy and one Oregon looked like they might have a bit more to give, so I topped them up with a bit of fresh compost and moved them to the potting shed.
Similarly, a couple of the Apache plants are still showing a bit of life in them so I did the same.
Could just be wishful thinking on my part, but we'll see.
50 Troy sets, 50 Electric sets, 10 Jermor sets and 16 cloves of Lautrec Wight have been planted out where the brassicas used to live.
I also emptied out the last bag of rooster potatoes and was again pleased with the contents.
When I was tidying up the potting shed I found a couple of opened packets of salad seeds (lollo rossa & rocket) and an almost empty packet of feltham first peas... rather than wrap them up for next year I thought I'd see if I can get a few salad leaves and pea shoots out of them, so they are now in a couple of troughs in the greenhouse.
I still have a few more jobs to do outside, but thought that was plenty for one Sunday so they will have to wait for another weekend.
