2017 GROWING THREAD

Made some with last weeks swede but thrown in some garlic, onion and cheddar. Yum.

Oh what a let down the melon was.. like bloody sweet cucumber.. did I pick too soon or did it cross with cucs/squash or the asda honeydew?? No idea but I was disappointed!

 

That's what we add

Sometimes Mrs Scrungee will have a plate of it as a meal.

 

Me too (sometimes with a pork and leek sausage or beans.. or if I'm starving marvin all 3)

 

He'ms not ripe yet Linz

 

temptation is a b*****d

 

Sown Mizuna, Lambs Lettuce and Kale, didn't bother with Land Cress as I noticed a few self seeders coming up under the tomatoes in the greenhouse

 

Corn.. tassels have gone Brown so had a peep at the cob.. paler than milk (And no milky liquid).. wait? I hate waiting.

 

Always good to see what people do with their home grown veg.

I didn't grow any swedes this year but I'm going to file this tidbit away for future recipe ideas.

 

Behold, the small gardener's Holy Trinity, the Salad Trinity, appears once again!






When the heavenly bodies align and you can get three home grown fruits/vegetables together onto a plate which forms a natural combination then that is a Holy Trinity - the small gardener's Holy Trinity!

 

This will probably be my entry for 'Longest Runner Bean' unless another one overtakes it

 

Not gonna be making much wine from these this year

 

Are those Grape Vines outside Palmers Brewery? Had a quick look but couldn't see any grapes on them.

 

I'll have a look next time I go past

 

Apparently, yes!





The next question is will at least three reach maturity?

And, will tiny black aphids and powdery mildew continue to ravage the leaves?
