Garden update - Pics - might be slow to load!

An update since we started gropwing things in this post

In my plant shelter/cloche I have:

Three sorts of broccolli… 

 

Two sorts of carrot - purple and orange, dill, pepper and celery….

 

My pumpkin and those sunflowers, and a squash of some sort (crown prince I think) and some courgettes in the distance….

 

Veg bed behind the shed - Peas, chard, carrot, celery, beetroot and some salad leaves just coming up.

 

My apple tree - this is the Cox’s and we’re down to three apples now - but it’s only young and small.

 

Mimi’s garden - Lavatera, sweet peas, 3 short rows of carrots, a pumpkin, some strawberries and possibly some nasturtiums.

 

Dino’s patch: A potato, come carrots, beetroot, peas, cress (because he wanted to see what the proper plant looks like) and some strawberries. There’s a pumpkin and some chard in there too but they’re hiding under the potato!

 

And finally my spud patch and that lovely ex-bramble patch that is producing a crop for the first time since we moved in when Dino was 18 months old.

 

I’m very pleased.
