Title: Latest Pics of my plot!
Post by: Mothy on June 26, 2005, 23:30:59
Things are growing in earnest now!

Quite pleased with the parsnips which are in the 2 nearest beds, and the broad beans at the back of the 1st piccy.

Looking back up the other way are my leeks in the foreground, shallots & garlic next and onions in the background.

Sorry about the weeds, the sheer intensity of their growth has been a suprise. Shouldn't have been considering that's all that's grown there for getting on 5 years.

I have tried to grow as wide a range of crops as I can this 1st year including:-

Lettuce - romaine & little gem
Onions - red/white/spring
Leeks
Garlic
Beetroot
Early & Maincrop potatoes
Parsnips
Broad beans
Carrots
Radish
Turnips
Cabbage
Runner & french beans
Broccoli
Romanescu sp?
Swede
Celeriac
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Butternut squash
Courgette
Brussel sprouts

It's been quite an experience so far!!  ;D

Really impressive Mothy.  Everything is blooming beautifully. You have got a fantastic range of things to enjoy.  I love this time of year when it all comes together.  Forgotten is all the hard work that goes into it.  This is what makes it all worthwhile.   :) busy_lizzie
