Garden news

Hello blog friends, happy Friday and soon it will be the weekend. :)

Thought I might up date you all on my growings in the garden.


Here you can see my potatoes ready for lifting and some dahlia's (remember those cheap ones from Wilkinsons? so far only the yellow ones have flowered)


Here is the whole pumpkin plant . . .  ok what I could get in the picture, can you see how big the pumpkin is?  To the left are some of my broccoli plants and in the lower left the tub of sunflowers.



 These are my runner beans growing up my pergola.


And last but not least my onions and some more broccoli.  These look a bit weedy but I've never grown vegetables before so maybe next year they will be better.


Thanks for visiting me today enjoy your Friday whatever you get up to.

Hi Tracy, thanks for dropping by and leaving such a kind and encouraging comment. I'm thinking of doing my HLTA next but opinion seems divided as to whether its worth it or not. Great to see your veggies doing so well. I've grown courgettes this year (Italian variety - super yummy) and they've gone bonkers! Have a happy Friday, Jo x

I think growing your own gives you more appreciation of just how much work goes into what we buy! Looking good, hope that pumpkin keeps swelling!
