Vegetables growing nicely!

The potatoes have now gone into their final tubs and I have been topping them up. Just one more time should do it. Ruby managed to get in the picture:

Potatoes on the left and fresh mint plants on the right. DB likes mint tea so these will be harvested throughout the year, dehydrated and stored for later use:
Temporarily on the patio table are the first batch of dwarf French beans, 3 different varieties. I shall repeat sow these in a few days for a later crop:

In the green house are the tomatoes, Shirley, Ailsa Craig and Gardeners Delight. Some of these and a few peppers plus the aubergines will grow in the soil in the greenhouse. The rest will be outdoors:

Some are still small but I think that is because they are a smaller tomato variety. Finally, a few chilli peppers and aubergine:


 Hopefully we won't get snow or hailstones in the next few weeks, anything is possible!

  1. You've got some lovely looking veg growing, some of ours is doing great (the carrots are absolutely romping away), other things are quite slow to get going. It'll all come good in the end, I expect.

    1. Unfortunately the direct sown beetroot, lettuce and peas are very very slow.
