2013 Growing Season

Totally forgot about this thread, I'll have to get some pics on soon. Everything is looking good for you lot, let's see how my first time effort compares!

 

Oh yes forgot to mention that! Scoffed quite a few strawberries at the weekend before the blackbirds could get to them!

 

Who lives in a garden plot like this?



These lot do:

Red and White Onions, a few had bolted:


Leeks Musselburgh:


Resistafly Carrots:


Charlotte Second Early Potatoes (theres a third row of carrots in there, you'll just have to take my word for it):


Honey Bear Squash on the home made scrambler:

 

Atlantic Giant Pumpkin:


and else where:

Lolimac's Tumbling Toms:


Peas, Beans & Corguettes:


Hawk F1 Butternut Squash (struggling I think after sun scorching them):


Cayenne Chilli Farm in the flyaway:


and finally I wanted to show off my fennel (see wheeliebin for comparison!):


...and that's it! What do you think?

 

Lookin Good nF

 

I know, it was one stem this time last year, half the size that had fallen over. Must be happy now though.

 

Marvellous nFrost....all looking great

 

Sowed another trough of mixed salad leaves...plus i threw in some herbs and spring onions for good measure....
Aw and look at my stuggleing outdoor Sweet Corn......

 

Don't look bad Loli

Lobbed some more Corgettes in, first couple are just sat there not growing.

 

Yeah my squashes look squashed

 

No comment.

 

First Courgettes of the year: "Burpees Fordhook", which I have harvested before the slugs get too them and a few small chillis.. stirfry this evening !

--
Unusual for me to get fruit this early - normally I have a month of nothing but flowers - perhaps starting them off in the greenhouse has made the difference ?

 

Made more sowings of mixed salad, rocket, American cress & beetroot direct.

Planted out the spare plants of Loli's Celeriac, slugs had all the earlier plantings

Planted out more Corgettes as back up plants.
