I just had a quick peep at your blog, will go back when time allows. I loved the photo of the day lily, one of my favourite plants.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540591998909116816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-7395483942939477752011-07-05T02:58:21.338+01:002011-07-05T02:58:21.338+01:00That is one huge garlic.

Looks like you've had a good year for garlic.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-90075421248352877922011-07-01T23:54:17.537+01:002011-07-01T23:54:17.537+01:00Hi Cathy & Steve, I checked out your blog and ...Hi Cathy & Steve, I checked out your blog and I have to say your garden is stunning. You should try and grow a Tayberry as it's very different, apparently a cross between a blackberry and a raspberry, I'm not sure if that is just a description of the taste or quite literally how it came about. I have about four full flower beds on my allotment, so no shortage of flowers but just too much veg !!<br /><br />Hi Mark, I'm glad your having a good year as well. Your right about one thing it does take up water, compost and pots to raise extra unnecessary plants. Next year I have to get it right.<br /><br />Allot of Veg, you always make me smile ! I don't think you are a slacker what with a family to look after and a job. I'm surprised you get time to grow anything on your plot. Enjoy the raspberries.<br /><br />Hi Ali, thanks for the comment and Have a Happy Birthday the 3rd.<br />M xMaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540591998909116816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-61042689761523064442011-07-01T13:24:59.181+01:002011-07-01T13:24:59.181+01:00Well done Mo, it's all looking fantastic to me...Well done Mo, it's all looking fantastic to me!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180612522194223105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-85642081385178061172011-06-30T20:04:43.510+01:002011-06-30T20:04:43.510+01:00you should become more of a slacker - like me!

I th...My crops this year have been good so far too. I think it is because we had such a warm Spring. I never have a huge glut, because my plot is very small, but like you I do enjoy being able to give away a few things to family and friends.<br />This year I have tried to be more ruthless with disposing of "spares". Growing more than you need uses up unnecessary time, water and in my case, compost for the pots and containers.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135071957131268670.post-26539415821268799202011-06-30T05:20:02.151+01:002011-06-30T05:20:02.151+01:00The tayverry is one I've never heard of.

You get a box of seeds, you plant them all. You could perhaps substitute a few flowering plants for some color and fun, but I have a hard time not planting seeds LOL.Cathy and Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985161421939096681noreply@blogger.com
