The Fallen

It's around this time of year that my wife charges me with the task of clearing all the dead stuff out of the greenhouse. There's plenty of it. Stuff that, over the course of the growing season, has been snipped or knocked off, or has just dropped as it ends it's natural life. Withered, shriveled and decaying, it's all so much more interesting than when it was alive and thriving.

 

 

Plot Watch: Marrow

Behold! The mighty marrow. Bow down before it's magnificence. Worship it's weighty, bulbous form...then slice it open, stuff it with spices pork mince and roast slowly at a regular heat for an hour and a half. Yum.

Plot Watch: The Plot Thickens

  

...so we thinned it out.

Plot Watch: The Fruit Preservation Society

  

Picked, preserved and potted; no sooner had Karen picked the fruit than she'd transformed it into a jar of the most delicious raspberry jam for our tea. (All together now...).

Plot Watch: Pea Minus Ten Seconds

  

It doesn't take long for the boys to make short work of the small, green near-spheres. Pod to pearly-whites in less time than it takes to fill a pocket with potatoes.

Plot Watch: Beet Boys

  

Roots plucked from the boy's sub-patch ready for a roasting.

Plot Watch: They must die

Death to the very hungry bastards!

Plot Watch: Deploy the Nemotodes

  

We've unleashed a microscopic army of mollusc killing organisms to wage war on our slimiest enemy.

Plot Watch: Peas Keeping Force

 

The troops are nearly ready.

Plot Watch: Lush

 

Warm and wet = Flourishing crop
