We didn't go to the plot last week, mainly because we had a few days out visiting various places and shopping for now much needed thermal underwear.
The days that we planned to visit the plot were cold and miserable and so we opted for curling up on the sofa. Martyn started going through and editing the masses of steam engine video that we took on Saturday and I did a jigsaw puzzle and read an ebook on my iPad.
I wasn't going to write a harvest Monday post, until Martyn reminded me that we had been harvesting watercress, and I thought that it was worth mentioning that the watercress is still flourishing despite a couple of early morning temperatures falling to around zero degrees. It will be interesting to see just how low a temperature it can survive and whether the roots will survive over winter even if the top is knocked back.

Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle
DeleteLate season tomatoes are always a pleasant surprise. The weather here lately has been more favorable for reading than gardening too!
ReplyDeleteIt’s been the same all this week too, Dave
DeleteExcellent Tomatoes harvest! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Malar
DeleteDon't knock it - that's a better harvest than many people (including me) can gather.
ReplyDeleteHoping for some winter veg pickings this weekend, Jayne
DeleteTiny but delicious harvest - a watercress tomato salad - yum! I love summer but must say that I equally look forward to those lazy winter days with no outdoor tasks weighing on me.
ReplyDeleteI thin having a break is a good thing, Margaret. I just wish it wasn’t dark so early.
DeleteGood to hear you've had a relaxing time and days out! You deserve a little down time. My water cress comes back religiously! There is no killing that plant!xxx
ReplyDeleteGood to know about the watercress, Dina. Plenty of downtime at the moment.
DeleteIt may be little, but sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteIt was indeed, Bonnie
