The tigerella tomatoes are going well. I've yet to taste them as they are still too small and green, but aren't they so pretty!?
The snow peas are still hanging on. Who knew they were still in there? I'll have to search harder. The tomatoes have taken over. I'm surprised anything can still grow through all that.

Garlic chives... mmm... This strong growing bunch of herbs died off through neglect a couple of years ago. I didn't throw the pot away, though I figured them to be long dead. After some heavy rainfall, they resprouted and I transplanted them and voila, healthy green herbs. They're resilient, I'll give them that.
I couldn't resist sharing a photo of a new bunch of tomatoes just being born. Okay, that's just corny, but c'mon... there's something magical about growing your own produce. I love every stage, from creating the beds to planting, tending, nursing, watering, fertilising and finally picking. Oh, and let's not forget eating! The best part!!
And lettuce. Home grown lettuce is never boring, ever! I can't bear to buy that shop bought stuff anymore. I swear I can taste the chemicals on the leaves. Urgh!
Okay, that's it for this check in of the garden. Oh, except to add that this is my next project. Em, when you get here, I'll need your help. :-)

OHMYGOSH--look at all this!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, what a LOVELY garden. I swear--you are the most proficent veggie-grower I know!! All your plants look SO healthy, like you should be entering them in county fairs or something. Your natural fertilizer really, really is doing wonders. I'm sold.
And secondly, what gorgeous photos!! I love them all, but the apricots and peas really stand out. I imagine you have lots more, too! I'd love to see the rest! Of course, I'll be seeing the actual garden soon... (though I know it'll look different.)
What a great update! You should be very proud. My grandfather has always grown vegetables but nothing like this. Amazing.
