We reaped our first lot of goodies from the lottie yesterday.
Am very proud, if not a little astonished!

Anna
I'm glad you can see them. I can't! ???
Bun Fantastic pics of your lovely veggies. Bet you're dead proud. Have you eaten them all up yet? ;D I'm pleased to see you little un looks interested which could be a big help in future :)
If you still can't see the pics it may be that your security is set too high
I think they've all been eaten, Bun!
They look delicious!! I found I couldn't see my pics the other day, turned out I'd forgotten to log on!! As a guest on here, you don't get to see pics, as soon as I logged on, could see them fine. Lottie ;D

~poor lottie ;D ;D
the veg is almost as big as your son ;D ;D
well done B :)[/color][/b]
Great haul of lottie veg. You must feel very satisfied Bun. My OH wanted me to dig one of my parsnips up today but I resisted even though they are looking good. After seeing yours however I feel a little bit tempted. We left our lottie this afternoon with a lettuce, some radishes, potatoes, cabbage, some broccoli florets and a cucumber from the greenhouse. Even picked some blackberries on the way home. It is a lovely time of year. :) busy_lizzie
Good haul - and your son's the best of the bunch :)
Thanks guys, I am quite proud & yes, you're right, my son is the best of the bunch! ;D
I wasn't purposely trying to grow really big veg, it was our first time in a lottie & we only dug the bed over late winter & then put some chicken poo & growmore on it.
I was however, trying to grow really big pumpkins, but the day after I planted them out in June we had a cold night & that really hurt them. Then the foxes dug most of them up a few times & then the slugs moved in. :'( I only have about 4 pumpkins growing at the moment & they're only the size of apples. :-[
La di dah. :-\
Oh, btw, you were right , my OH was playing with the puter & set the security too high. Fanks. :)
Those parsnips are making me hungry.. I stick in the bottom of the fridge for a day or two before cooking them at this time of year (they get much more flavour after the first frosts), then boil and roast em. lovely.
Try parsnip chips too :)
