Camera Problems, etc.

Latest post from MARKSVEGPLOT – a blog about food and gardening in England”

I’ve had a bit of an issue on the photography front… my trusty Olympus E-450 (9 years old now) has developed a fault. It won’t focus! I’ve taken it in to a local camera shop to see if they can repair it, and I’m awaiting their diagnosis. In the meantime I’m using my spare camera, which is nowhere near as good (and I don’t love it like I do the Olympus one). Because of this I’ve been feeling much less inclined to take any photos. Furthermore, my garden is looking very tired and end-of-season-like at present, so it’s not very photogenic.

All I can offer you today is some photos of the tomatoes and chillis I have harvested. These are probably my favourite vegetables, and the colours are just wonderful!
 

I haven’t been weighing my harvests, but the other day I did, just for curiosity,  weigh the basket you see here, when it was very nearly full of tomatoes. It weighed 6.5kgs, so I reckon today’s harvest is probably about half of that – maybe 3kgs or so.

The brown-coloured chilli seen here is a “Chocolate Cayenne”, and there are also several “Golden Cayennes” in the box.

The smaller yellow ones (top right) are “Aji Limon”.
