I had a good harvest today and It's scary to know that although my fridge is full there will be more to harvest on my next visit. Next year I have to get it right !! how do you manage to just grow enough ? or do you also do as I do and grow too much ?
Here is some photo's taken on the plot today, it's all looking very lush. I dug up some garlic from the second bed and this variety 'Cristo' is huge, it fit's into the palm of my hand.
The Globe Artichokes are enormous and growing like crazy.
The onions are growing well, they looked like blades of grass when I put them in as I grew them from seed.
I have lots of self seeded Sunflowers and Calendulas, all brightening up the plot
The pumpkin and squashes are in
The Spinach has been amazing, but is slowly going to seed now so I have sown some more today.
The Runner beans and French beans have now reached the top of the wigwams and are all in flower.
The Tayberry has quite a few fruits now and I have been eating some for a couple of days.
The gooseberries have loads of fruit, the green ones are huge and the red ones are just turning from green to red and are delicious.
I am growing Cape Gooseberries in the greenhouse and this one is really getting big now and has quite a few fruits forming
And finally here is the Broad beans, Mangetout, and Calabrese that I harvest today. I haven't grown calabrese before and I am so pleased with it as the heads have grown so big over the last week, I will definitely grow it every year.
It's been an amazing year so far, and there is so much more to come. All the potatoes are dug up now as I only grew first earlies. I will post the results on the varieties soon, as they were unusual and I haven't grown them before.
