WOYWW

 Morning peeps, first an apology time got away with me last week and I didnt manage to get round all the desks to return the comments.  I must admit, I am so behind I have a weeks worth of Inktober to catch up on!  I do this every year but I must admit this is the most behind I can recall being, I will catch up and if not, never mind I can carry on with it in November but it would be good to catch up!

So, this was my desk last night and to be honest it pretty much looks the same this morning, only managed to get one more Inktober tag done and the mess is still staring back at me (well, until I sweep it into an envelope to hide it until the evening!).  

This is the 6th year I have done Inktober on tags.  I like to hang them on a ring under the shelf on my desk and it gives me inspiration to flick through them now and again.

As to my "Man Bites Dog" cards this week - "Rare teen slays singer!" couldnt make anything nice out of it so moving on!

Thought I would give a quick update on the allotments. Sweetcorn and beans are now all finished, however the swede are looking really good and I have been harvesting them for a couple of weeks now and I am hoping I have a couple of months worth to harvest (at about 1 a week as they are quite large)

The winter salads have failed again!  I sowed 3 times and each time the slugs ate the seedlings.  However, a mate gave me some of hers so I have transplanted them so hopefully they will provide me with some additional salads until later in the winter (still have to buy lettuce each week as I do get through a lot but it will certainly help).  Also my land cress and lambs lettuce is ok so hoping once again I will be able to over winter these as the past few years they have added some real punch to bland winter salads.

and this is the reason I got a 2nd plot (my plots are only half size, whereas the ones i had in the 90s were a full 10 rods) - to grow more squash!  I love squash, I get through one a week roasted for my lunches everyday (roasted veg wrap and salad) and that doesnt include the ones for our supper etc!  Almost 30 of them, happy days!

and a rare selfie!  Just for scale so you can see the size of the crown prince squash!  Only one per plant, BUT, they weigh so much my scales say "overloaded!" and I think that will last for a fortnights lunches and probably at least 2 meals for the house so dead chuffed!

So, what's on your workdesk this Wednesday?
