ubereglu Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 I think I win....I picked NOTHING So far this year I've picked radishes and strawberries. The vegetable patch looks good, nice big tomato plants, with flowers, radish seedlings, runner beans, (with the starts of actual beans), 2 courgette plants, 2 pumpkin plants (taking over the garden), 7 little leeks, 8 sweetcorn plants.... Now what have I missed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hiya - I'd not really checked on my garden or greenhouse because of the wedding and all the rain etc. So when I looked at my tub of spring onions last night, I was shocked at how big they'd grown and they'd really fattened up. Loads of salads this weekend! Cherry tomato plant is in flower, my ornamental gourds are growing well - bright yellow gourds on the plant & the mos gorgeous bright yellow flowers! I must check on my beans, beetroot & herbs later, but as it's raining I'm afraid of frogs! Last time I went in my greenhouse, there was a huge frog hiding in the corner. Hubby rescued the frog & me! I really need some nice weather to tend to my garden & the chucks are fed up of seing me in my bright yellow Alton Towers poncho!!!!!

Lesley Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 I had two raspberries this morning as well - I ate them as my breakfast! I was out with the scissors and trowel - I bash the snails with the trowel and cut the slugs in half with scissors We have thrushes around, and frogs but I found around 50 snails this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
