Welcome back to Reads Retreat. Every day it seems that winter draws a stage closer, soon we'll be "decking the halls ...etc" and looking forward to spring. What a cheery thought! At least we can still harvest home grown veg from the garden & the plot. These 3 courgettes are just at the right size, and eager to be eaten - guess we'll have to keep them happy!
One thing that brings us so much joy, is the excitement Ruby has when she gets to pose for the camera with something freshly harvested, these 2 cobs of sweetcorn proving the point. She really wanted to get peeling, so I was lucky to get a quick photo first!
Don't you just love the look on her face,"these are mine " kind of look. Whenever we plant any seeds in the garden, Ruby always helps, as she did when we planted this corn. Variety is Swift Early - and we'll be growing these again next year - but in larger numbers!
The final harvest from the raised beds today was this handful of Dwarf Yellow Podded French Beans. This crop has been a rip roaring success this year, and they taste out of this world. Definitely one to grow a lot more of next season.That's all from Reads Retreat today, hope you've enjoyed the update.
Hope all your gardens and plots are going well too.
Take care all,
TTFN.

Ruby is truly adorable..and it's nice to see someone else getting their children involved with growing stuff...I think this is very important...i look forward to the next update.
What a little cutie you have! It's a delight when they can get excited about the veggies isn't it?
Ruby is so cute...I'm glad she helps!
As for signs of winter and "decking the halls" , just go to any big box store...it's already starting! Ugh!
