Malvern Autumn Show is over for another year. Thank-you to the other exhibitors and organisers for making it enjoyable. The icing on the cake was getting another World record for the heaviest bell pepper. (963g)

Tyrone predicted on the 27th of August that this would be a world record breaker. He was correct. It’s been a nervous month making sure it didn’t spoil before the Malvern Autumn Show. It weighed in at 966g. Can I break the 1Kg barrier next year? 🤔

Only a week to go and the 2024 growing season will be over. So cold that I am having to keep the greenhouse doors closed. Normally the plants only have blankets in the spring. Have I done enough to get any winners at Malvern? 🤔🧐☹️🤞

Both picked the same marrow. Slugs are enjoying the 🫑. Which will be the longest gourd.
