Garden news

 

Well its been a while since I mentioned my garden.  Things have been growing well. I have beans, courgettes, tomatoes, aubergines and peppers.

 

This is my aubergine. I didn't grow it from seed, bought it from a plant shop in Neapoli.

I also bought these tomato plants.  They are growing funny, only one tomato seems to be growing on a truss. Not quite sure why that is.

Some very yummy strawberries.

Some lovely beans growing up some branches. Didn't have any canes, but they are not bothered. they will use anything.

A patty pan squash. I grew the yellow one last year and used it like courgettes. Below are my courgette plants. Two different varieties.

The walnuts are still growing strong. Think we will have a good harvest.

So all in all everything is growing well and I am looking forward to eating our own veggies again. There is something about home-grown food. It tastes better and you know what went into it. No pesticides to worry about.

Your veg are looking good though it is odd about the tomatoes - perhaps you have discovered a new variety!
