Hi, I am veggie mama
This is our second year growing veg.
We just had one vegetable patch last year and a herb/salad patch.
This year however we have 5 vegetable patches one herb/salad patch and a large polytunnel.
In the polytunnel i am growing
Peas...they are nearly over now, i just put a few to start off with.
Melon
Cape gooseberry
Tomatoes and
Peppers
Strawberries...I have moved these out now because it seemed too hot for them, also i needed room for the tomatoes (way too many)
I have growing in my garden
onions
Garlic
Shallots
Spring onions
3 different cabbages
Broccoli
Peas
Mange-tout
sweetcorn
broad beans
runner beans
dwarf french beans
climbing french beans
beetroot
lots of lettuce
Potatoes
pumpkins
blackberries
currants
was supposed to be growing raspberries but they havent shown any growth since i planted them
rhubarb
chard rhubarb
cucumbers
butternut squash
corguette
fennel
baby carrots
parsnips
carrots
lots of lettuce
Rocket
wild rocket
spinach
pea shoots
Herbs
sage
rosemary
basil
corriander
thyme
lemon scented thyme
orange scented thyme
creeping thyme (i use a lot of thyme cooking)
chives
garlic chives
russian tarragon (am gonna grown french tarragon from seed next)
Lots of curly and flat leaf parsley
lemon balm
samphire (new plant that i need to get into a big pot)
I want to add lots more herbs as the bed is quite big.
I have 2 apple trees plated last year. An eating one..we didnt get any fruit of this last year and despite a bumper flowering this year...alas no fruit as yet....advice please for this one
Cooking apple we got one apple from this last year and i keep checking it now for little apples.
Everything seems to be growing quite well. I am sure i have more things planted, but cant think right now.
I have 2 children. One of which has autism Growing our own vegetable is helping him too. He loves to help out as does my other son. My husband was never into gardeing until i started growing the vegetables. We are a good team in that I, sow the seeds, nurture them and generally look after them. He cuts the grass, helps me with the digging and he actually loves to weed
Good job as there is so much to do
I could work in the garden all day. I dont work because it is a lot of work with my son, whom i also teach at home (he does go to school but also needs to be taught at home too) I love it. Lots of fresh air being close to nature and eating what we grow......aaahhhhhh.....its just like heaven.
Anyway, i have been reading your forum for quite a while picking up tips, so thought i would pop on (especially as i was worried about my peppers
)
Hope to get to know you all soon.
