June 13 Back Gardens

Thought I would include a few pics of my two small in ground plots

here is a rather unusual vegetable - Fioretto 60 cauliflower - I didn't really care for the taste - perhaps it was past time to harvest - but I love the look of the plants

 more tomatoes - Oud Holland on the left and Red Lithium on the right, with Breen lettuce front and centre - lovely mini romaine that stays sweet longer than most

June 10 Beds 10/11 and 64

Summer solstice approaches and the gardens are putting on amazing growth ........ check out the Red Sweet Crisp Salanova lettuce - really tasty

Masai green bush beans (lower left) planted June 1 - hopefully these will provide a harvest once those beans in the centre are done

the Worry dwarf tomatoes at the right are looking green and happy .....
