My courgettes as every have done well this year and are still fruiting and I was given a big bag of various tomatoes from an allotment neighbour so I decided to make some pasta sauce today as I have plenty of tomatoes from my own plants but wasn't going to pass up a freebie!!
I also was given a large bag of eating apples from my Mum's neighbours...there were too many to eat so some I peeled and cored and then boiled them quick in water and lime juice...left to cool and then bagged and froze them for deserts later on....they were red blush apple similar to Elspan but my Mum's neighbor didn't know exactly what type they were but the smell and taste is delicious!!
I popped up to the allotment to water the greenhouse and when I opened the door was greeted by the wonderful aroma of melon...yep, one had ripened and split slightly so I have brought it home...it's not very big and we haven't cut it yet but I will give you the verdict when I do!! I have to say I am quite excited about the fact!
My Melon...I put the camera case next to it to give you an idea of the size. I don't know if it should have grown bigger or if they were a miniature variety...I guess I should have paid more attention to the packet!!
That's really all for now....hoping to get a bit of work done on the plot tomorrow if the weather stays fine for me.

Good idea with the apples. I'll have to keep that in mind if I ever end up with too many
