Re: Veg Garden Harvest

Picked 2 lb of beans yesterday. There are loads more, from 2" to ready to pick size. They have loads of flowers too Looked at the toms again, tonight. They are growing and have turned a healthy green

Re: Veg Garden Harvest

That's good Janela I hope your beans taste nice.

My one tomato plant is huge it's almost as tall as me 5'4''
I am getting scared of it now , it attacks me when I go out of the back door

Re: Veg Garden Harvest

What a beauty Meg..and so tall! I've shown the picture to hubby and he said he can see where you are going wrong .. (he's jealous methinks )

Re: Veg Garden Harvest

I'm jealous too Jan, my toms are a disaster this year, I can't even bring myself to photograph them...

Re: Veg Garden Harvest

I put the growth down to weekly feeding .
I cut some off it this morning just before the horrendous weather set in, we have strong wind and torrential rain and I had visions of half the stems being broken off.

Re: Veg Garden Harvest

I'm still picking about half lb of beans daily. My tomato plants are getting a gallop on gone a lovely dark green and there are a few flowers Chillie peppers have several large fruits but the sweet peppers which set tiny fruits a few weeks ago haven't moved
I put some 'cut and come again' lettuce in troughs, with radish and spring onion. They were coming along nicely, then the bl**dy squirrel dug them all up

Re: Veg Garden Harvest

I've picked about 2 lbs of toms so far, my carrots tasted lovely but they were rather small, spring onions OK.

Re: Veg Garden Harvest

That's good Janela I am still picking beans daily but have only had one tomato so far
Mav I guess your toms are in a greenhouse
I understand the carrots are small this year but it is the taste that counts isn't it

Re: Veg Garden Harvest

Peppers are one of the things going well for me Jan, sweet peppers have big fruits and are turning red, with two varieties of chillie peppers fruiting really well and one plant just starting to turn colour, really pleased with them..

My spring onions are just about OK Maverick, but my carrot crop was destroyed by carrot root fly..

My beans are doing rather well Meg but only managing two meals a week from 6 plants, and the couple of cherry tomatoes that I managed to grow were tart with thick skins...the plants are now being composted as we speak...

No my Toms are outside. Her's a piccy
