Need help identifying...

...this caterpillar. Its in the palm of my glove so only a couple of cm in length



A long over due update

It has been brought to my attention that my blog hasnt been updated since April. I have been posting photos on FB, but havent had a chance to really sit and write anything about the day to day happenings on the plot.

I've had a really good crop of tomatoes this year; sweetcorn has been great and the best red potatoes (though I could have sworn I've set white main crop); french beans; and the squashes are looking very impressive but not yet ready.

Unsuccessful this year were peas (damn pidgeons got them) onions (not enough water at the right time) and all of my brassicas (just dont think I'm meant to grow them)

I'm now setting about clearing the finished areas and digging over ready for the winter. I have some plans to move the strawberry beds and asparagus for next season but cant do that until the corn and tomatoes are completely finished.

Here's some photos of what I've been up to in the past week.
