July 15 Container Pepper Update


a quick update on my container peppers - we have colour!! check out my Doe Hill plant 2

and the others - Yellow Capriglio, Zolotistyi, Cambuci and Doe Hill plant 1




Mid July Some for Harvest Some for Drying


Here's a mixed  bowl .......  more shelling peas, Adam gherkin, and two for drying for craft use - Scabiosa seed heads and white flowered oregano (I believe the white flower is Greek)

and my "Sunburst" dahlia; managed to overwinter the tubers on this one - so many flowers - and early too

July 4 Plot 5 Revisited


Thought it about time to do an update on Plot 5 ...... first, two views of the garden;

top view shows my remaining potato hills "Merida" - really good crop from the dug portion - don't seem to have taken a picture ..... and my favourite self sown beneficial flower - white alyssum



tomatoes "Brad's Atomic Grape" starting to ripen, Walla Walla onion starts begin to fill out - again planted in a bunch and harvested as needed, and my broccoli of choice "Brokali" keeps on giving and the flavour is very nice

July 3 Peppers and More


July has arrived, along with some great peppers;  I'm seldom able to grow peppers in the garden, but they love these small containers

Here we have Zolotistyi,  Cambuci,  Yellow Capriglio, and Doe Hill




great crop of mixed Shelling Peas - Paladio and Little Marvel - sown April 14, they do take some time to shell out ...... but worth it!

and, for all the beneficial critters ........ this garden's for them

June 24 The Back Garden


Yet another pic of my backyard container tomatoes - but it is amazing how much they grow each week

and we now have tomato set ....  first up 7c 28-1 and below Apero F1


Adam F1 cucumber ....... a gherkin and every flower sets fruit!! lovely flavour 

my peppers are happy campers at the moment - Cambuci with blossom and fruit in June!!

and finally, one of my favourite perennial flowers - Scabiosa
