Oh why what a fortuitous coincidence - if only I believed in them - here are pics of veggies wot we iz growing right now:
Cut and come again lettuce. Of which we need to eat more, by the looks of things.
Our 1st attempt at peas. Report card says ? Could do better.
Potatoes. Pentland Javelin, to be precise. I read somewhere that we will still be harvesting these at Xmas.
From left to right: 1 pumpkin, 1 tumbler tomato, 1 plum tomato, 3 bush tomatoes. I LOVE tomatoes, but even I am quailing at how many this will be .... unfortunately I am not a fan of chutney apart from mango.
So not too bad so far, for our 1st summer in this house; there is also sweetcorn and strawberries, as well as culinary herbs. There is a sad lack of floral brightness - I do miss having petunias. Next year I think things will be more cohesive ....
What have you got in your garden right now ?
I have been extraordinarily slack about growing anything this year. The veg beds are only growing weeds and the only potatoes are ones left over from last year.

We had a ripe grape tomato this past weekend, which seems really early to me. We've had a wet start to the summer, and my little garden is loving it!
ReplyDeleteJust peppermint and spearmint in my garden, I need to get myself more in gear. :) I love the veggies and your haul is quite the inspiration. I see a huge salad with butter beans and baked potatoes coming out of this yeild! Yum!
