Ripe Tomatoes

As you can see we picked our first ripe tomatoes last week

We have also picked Cucumbers and Zuccini's








 























In the greenhouse I noticed that the Aubergine's are showing fruit now

Outside the Tomatoes are changing colour  

Like the ones in the greenhouse

Cucumbers grow well

and so does this tomato my wife found in a planet she was given. Lettuce seem to just grow

In  the beds sunflower and runner bean flower

The pond is brightened by a water lilly

The First Crops

Sunday we had our first crops from our garden. We pulled a few of the carrots I had growing in the Greenhouse

Pulled some peas and runner beans,

Add to that some  of the potatoes we had dug the previous week and we had a delicious dinner

One thing I have not shown you are the apples we have growing, they seem to be ripening up nicely

Along by the greenhouse I have planted some more spring onions and lettuce which are now growing well.
At the back the Zuccini  (courgette) were growing well and will soon be cut in a week or so

Quite sure the tomatoes growing there will be ripe soon.


In the bed the leeks are really growing well along with the carrots lettuce and spring onions I planed between them

This is the first time I have grown them and they have done better than I thought

We also have runner beans growing up the poles which are flowering so I'm looking forward to seeing beans soon

In the greenhouse Aubergine's have flowers on then

The chillies are growing  well I have  Jalapeño, Tokyo Hot 

and Cayenne

Cucumbers continue to grow well and we harvest them regular and I am pleased to say the Tomatoes are ripening, hopefully by this time next week I will have picked the first.

The big drawback is I seem to be continuously watering them but a small price to pay.

Growing well

Things are growing well in the greenhouse with lots of tomatoes growing (still green) and we have been also eating Cucumbers off the plants you see

as you can see the plants are looking good

 The runner beans are growing very well, this photo was taken a week ago and they are a lot bigger now

 As you can see

 Lot's of tomatoes

and cucumbers too

The leeks are growing very well

 We pulled a few carrots and had them along with some peas we grew

 Also planted more carrots and planted them in various containers

This an old water butt stand I though would be good for more carrots

 We also harvested the first potatoes

and we had those along with peas & carrots we grew

That's it for now I'll update again next week

Another week in the Garden

Back in the garden this week and some more news on how everything is growing I'm pleased to say that most things are growing well 

In the greenhouse the plants are looking very good

The Aubergine have grown well with shoots now showing on the stem which may be fruit. The tomatoes continue to grow 

Growing really well these large Tomatoes 

Carrots grow well

And courgett's (Zucchini) seem to have little fruit showing 

 We have already cut on Cucumber which was really tasty now another tow are about ready to harvest, this is one of them

The Chillies have started to flower as well

More new carrots sprouting

More salad leaves grow in a trough  the on in the foreground has been sewn  with spring onions seeds

 This is American Land Cress and tastes like watercress, nice & spicy

 This is what I was pleased to see Runner beans growing up the canes

Leeks grow well and I have planted Lettuce, spring onions and carrots between the rows 

Back of the greenhouse has tomatoes growing

 With little tomatoes growing

More courgett's (Zucchini) and you can see the little fruit. I have been up to other things as well like making blinds for the greenhouse, I show how in another blog and making a large trough fro the carrots you see in the seed trays.

I will leave you with a Rose that grows by the back door.

Have a safe week
