The fruits of my labours- at last!

this is my first year of veggie growing, today we had salad leaves, cucumber,runner beans,spring onions and beetroot. We are going to make a bigger plot for next year.

 

Dinner today was the best.
Those potatoes where by far the best I have tasted for many a year.

Hi Capney,
That carrot seems to have gone a long way!!

 

Oh wow, I'm getting hungry now.

 

Lovely- my potatoes are still marble sized, but tomatoes are coming on nicely. Something large is eating the peas [apart from me]. Maybe a squirrel or pigeon? Whole and half pods at a time!
I have got carrots at last but they're still very little like Capney's picture! They have been growing since march- what am I doing wrong?

 

Hi capney, I must say that`s the first time I`ve seen anything like THAT posted (dinner), but i have to say it DOES look rather tasty. A good thing I`m just about to eat dinner ! Cheers...freddy.

 

Thanks Freddy.
A descent home grown Sunday dinner.
Tis what we strive for after all the blood sweat and tears we put into our gardens. Makes it all worth while.
Ive learnt quite a lot during this first season with my small plot.
Much of that from you guys on this site.
I visited the new Boundary mill in Colne today and came away with a 512 page book "Organic Kitchen and Garden" for just £4:99
It looks like some interesting bed time reading.
No time to get into the garden today, so a double shift required tomorrow.
Note to boys: If you ever take a lady friend to Colne Boundary Mill be prepared for a long haul and plenty of cash. There is more feminine garments there then you can shake a pointed stick at. I kid you not..
We were there about four hours !
and with that its goodnight from me...
Good nite everyone.
