How Does Your Garden Grow?

[andy06shake]

Just wondering how my fellow gardeners around the globe's fruit and veg gardens are getting on?





Think it might be time soon for a Tattie and Onion harvest.

Peas & Tomatoes are still taking the pi#s.

Sunflowers have sprung up fast as lightning.

I have a long garden, 250ft.

Cos I have a bad knee and knackered lower legs due to an embolism I haven't been able to tame it.

Trees appeared from nowhere so it's more of a jungly arboretum.

I have had to get some guys in to clear it.

First third done.

I'd take some photos but it's too bloody hot - 35C - to go out there.

Tomatoes do take the pish so not worth it.  Runner beans good so are apples and plums.

Chillis have been good but haven't bothered this year.

Grape vines have gone mad.

Just een chaos this year mate. One thing after another. Works been painful as I age it gets harder, car breaking down, sorting MOT out, her indoors mother going insane banging on the woindows all the time, myne in a home visit another county, jobs at home, hard going, so have got behind with the gardening. Only got the beans in, my grandad always said May the 8th which I always remember as the route from B'ham J8 to Glos M5 for planting so did that on time and they are going well. Runners climbing nicely. No broads this year. No spuddies either, last year planted them but only got marbles back. Farmer said it was too much heat, so gave up this year. Corn on the cobs, pumpkin, carrots, parsnips, brussel sprout all gone in late, had the seeds so thought hey give it a go. Of to hose em all down in a few mins

Mom said she's getting too old (86) to walk all the way to our garden plot so me and my brother in laws tilled a small spot beside her house. We put out a row of green beans, a few green onions and some cucumbers. She wanted her tomato plants in tubs in front of the house. The tomato plants are really leggy this year, they stretched to high heaven. Onions and cucumbers are doing great but the green bean are kinda struggling. I was up there today hoeing them out. Next time I'm up there I'll get some pics.

That sounds like some size, mate.

I would do more to this wee garden, but the property is a rental.

Make it look to nice, they sell it out from under you.

Sounds great.

I love brussels. 

Tried growing corn last year.

But it's Scotland, so the results were tinny wee cobs...

I need to go out with the hose myself...

Thats sounds like a really nice thing to do. 

Props!
