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

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.
