Vegetable bonanza

So many of the veg are now starting to ripen. We are regularly eating Radish, Lettuce, Spring onion, New potatoes, Carrots, Beetroot and Strawberries.

Home grown Beetroot, Spinach, boiled pots and parsley sauce.

Carrot thinnings


Just a bit bigger than a golf ball, they are so tasty.


Just coming in are Spring greens, Courgettes, yellow and green..... hot on their heels are an assortment of beans.....Dwarf green, Runners, Broad and climbing french.


The Rhubarb we planted in early spring continues to grow well and should give us some nice sticks next spring.
Latest addition to our soft fruit is a Morello cherry tree, this will be kept in a 40 litre pot to keep it dwarfed. I made a wooden planter box to cover the pot and improve its appearance.




The Cucumbers and Tomatoes are all setting fruit well, it just a matter of time before we'll be eating them.

Heres a few shots showing the plots from different angles





Today I dug some 2nd early potatoes, a variety called Kestral, this made space for some  more seed sowing. A row of Radish called Mooli a new one for me with white roots, Lettuce..a red oak leave variety and some Chinese Pak choi.

The latest project is a wooden trough, mostly made with recycled wood, not sure what I'm going to plant in it yet. Obviously it needs to be filled, rubbed down and painted .

  1. I'm stunned! Seeing it like this makes me realise just how many different veg you're growing, it all looks amazing. To say nothing of the taste sensation of veg eaten straight from the ground.
