Summer Garden.

I sowed my seeds in April, before I went on holiday, and when I came back they had grown and magically been planted in my little veggie garden.  Thanks mum!

Here you can see my little patch.  I've been promoted to a sunnier spot this year, usually I have the very end of the garden (under a tallll tree next door), but the potatoes are there this year. 

I have strawberries and alpine strawberries round the edge and rows of spinach and rainbow chard in front (I planted some Japanese bunching onions and kale too, but neither of them have grown this time.).  Towards the back there are minipop sweetcorn and to the far left at the front are broad beans.


And here you can see my two courgette plants (I planted black beauty and mikinos).


You can see in the rest of mums garden that there are lots of apples and peas, onions and strawberries on the way.



This time of year is so exciting in the garden, are you growing anything?

  1. Sooz your (your mam's) veggie garden looks fabulous, isn't it amazing how these little seeds can turn into such huge plants with just a little TLC and bear such gorgeous fruit and veg. This year so far I have planted toms, cuc, raddish, lettish, chilli, peppers, two types of beetsroot and two types of spuds. Thank you for sharing your pictures of your lovely patch.

  2. How neat and tidy is your mum's garden!! Our allotment is a little more haphazard. Not that I ever go there - that's Jim's job mainly. xx

    1. My mum is such a good gardener, if I'm left to my own devices my bit gets all weedy and I get in trouble!

  3. Sooz, it looks lovely and so organised, and so does your mums :) I need to make some of those disc hangers to keep the birdies off my red fruit.
