This is our last melon of three. The flavour of two and three was slightly better than number one, after leaving the plants unwatered for several weeks, however it was still slightly bland. I suppose water melon often is. Still - they were a pretty good size and lovely and juicy.
This afternoon I have spent about two hours chopping up apples, courgettes, green tomatoes and onions for a batch of 'glutney'. The apples are from my neighbour's tree, everything else was mine. The actual cooking will take place this evening. Hopefully I will also find time to do a batch of spicy pumpkin chutney. Not today though.The peppers are beginning to ripen now, you can tell which ones are going to be red and which are orange.
I've bought myself a new bike! It was an amazing bargain - less than half price. I have put a lift-off basket on the front for bringing the veg home in.
Looks like the house move is off. We haven't been able to find anything suitable so have had to take the house off the market. Oh well, probably wasn't to be.

You've done really well with your melons, and they look delicious.
Well done on your bargain bike. It will be handy having a basket on the front.
My peppers are still green. I think I'm going to have to give up on them.
Sorry to hear about the house move. Once the market gets going a little more, you might find something you like.
