Vegetable Garden

While my Etsy shop has been neglected, my garden has been growing.

I planted lots of seeds in back in February and March and spent weeks watching them very slowly grow in the small plastic greenhouse. A few of them did make it to the planting outside stage.

For the last month or so I've been picking things, which has saved me having to buy courgettes mainly.


This one of the early, I hesitate to use hauls, but some of the courgettes off the Golden Zucchini plant, which have been great and is still going.

The carrots were all about this size and shape, which made peeling them very interesting, mainly an exercise in not grating them to bits.

The garlic was a spur of the moment experiment when I buried a spouting garlic clove outside in the middle of winter, which then grew into a small new clove.
