A walk around the vegetable garden in my world


Sweet peas from Diane

parsley bed loves the rain

chedder cheese cauliflowers

Potato peeling buckets looks like I will have to empty one

The person that gave me this seed only told me its cauliflower there are 3 shades of pink and there is one that also has white leaves.
New Zealand spinach growing well loves this weather.

multicoloured carrots not long to go

One of my raised beds that was a cupboard has purple sprouting our season is later then in the Britain because it was too hot up untill October/ November.

Eggplant is still alive , in the spring I will prune it add some compost and see what happens.

Out of all the Pea seeds I planted this is the only one that germinated then the cat dug it up ,I replanted it and it has started to flower.
Onions not that many using them for the shoots only.

More potato peelings this time grown in leaves.

Asparagus pea seems to grow very slowly.


My seed beds sticks to stop Sheleg (cat) digging up

Mixed salad leaves are finding their way into a lot of meals.
 I also use just the leaves on the Garlic.

 Purple brocolli.

 Yet more potato peeling this time in the ground.

Broad beans I must admit George I love Eating them on their own with Cooked with butter and blackpepper and sometimes with gammon and new potatoes but here is a great web site for recipes.
there are a few more vegetables that have just startd to grow Beetroots, Carrots

Things you learn along by way did you know that hair was good for tomatoes?
