Fabulous pics, fabulous produce.  Where's the green with envy emoticon?

Soil looks very sandy. What sort of fertilizer do you use?  Are you allowed hose pipes?
How to the slugs and snails like all that sand?

And no fat hen and milk thistle in sight.   

Brilliant.

Hi digeroo,yes we have a sandy soil because we are behind the dunes near the coast.I put in every year a big amount of cow manure and yes we are allowed to use hosepipes.Snails and slugs are still a problem but what e heck it is nature at his best.

Great pics Ruud and splendid looking crops  ;D

What are the first two cucumber pictures of, are they they same?
Tomatoes look great, you have had a much better fruit set than I have here :) What are the leaves in the last picture, they don't seem to go with the tomato?

I've really enjoyed looking at the photos..I wondered if anyone else has any they would share, as it's so good to know people are still having some successes in such a bad year?

I would love to see some and it helps to give us all ideas for things to do on our own plots.
