Tomatoes.

http://www.photoworks.com/slideshow/album/A66E4F22105F?source=pw980This year as been a poor year for tomatoe growing. No one I've spoke to have done much with them. That is the Rotherham area, I can't speak for anywhere else.

We saw lots of old mates and did plenty of talking.

Two weeks ago the farmer was harvesting wheat from this field,
now he's planting oilseed rape. Farming is not the same as it was
when I was a lad. They used to grow kale, mangles, suger beet, turnips,
swedes, barley, oats, wheat, and potatoes, now it's just wheat and rape.
Today I flagged him down to pick his brains, I wondered why some of my
potatoes had insect damage but farm potatoes don't. The answer is they
spray them every 7 days, and that's the reason they don't grow tates
anymore. He said it costs £1200 an acrea to grow potatoes, it's not worth
the trouble. When I was a boy where I live now was all fields there were
5 farms all within shouting distance of one another, now there are none,
this farmer comes from Clayton 10 miles away.

Red Squirrel.

The first and only Red squirrel I have seen in the wild. This one I spotted near Keswick Cumbria.
They have almost been wiped out in the UK by the American Grey Squirrel.
The American grey is much larger and more aggressive than the red squirrel.
