Awesome August

There has been a real bloom this month.  Everything has suddenly burst into life and we are eating more veg then we thought we would ever grow.
The tomatoes are red and are delicious.
The strawberries provided tasty fruits.
The carrots have come up and are delicious.
The peas have finished and died back along with the broad beans.
We have had endless amounts of cabbage and beetroot and these are still providing a crop.
The sweetcorn are growing steadily and getting ready for eating.
And we had a couple of raspberrys of the bushes we planted earlier this year.
New leeks are in the ground.
And the sunflower is nearing 8 foot tall :)

Jolly July

It has been a while since I updated my blog - but July has been busy!  Everything went into bloom and grew 3 times the size really quickly!

We enjoyed the fruits of our labour which included strawberries, peas, broad beans, lettuces and beetroot.  The onions and garlic finished growing so they have been making their way into many meals.  The leeks had gone to seed so had to be removed as they became woody.
Tomatoes have begun to ripen on the plants

Joyful June

The weather has been fine and the plants are blooming!

We unfortunately had to pull out our potatoes as they got blight, but we managed to salvage some for eating.  

The lettuces were delicious and a new lot has gone into the potato bed.  

Some sunflower seeds I planted have started to grow and are now 1ft high.  I am hoping they will grow to 6ft, but I may be expecting too much! 

The mountain of cabbage we are growing is flourishing as are the lines of beetroot.  the peas, broadbeans and sweetcorn are all growing fast!
