Piccies of our growing crops!

[Mrs Dobby]

Hi Gang, managed to get a few piccies of some of the first of our crops, thought some of you may like a look! Let us know what you think!

1st piccy is of our Naga Jolokia chillies, nearing ripeness at 4" long! (plot1)

2nd piccy is our first cucumber in the greenhouse, currently about 2" long! (plot1)

3rd piccy is of our first early spuds, on plot2!

4th piccy is the fartichokes next to the pond (plot1)

Last piccy is of our flowering broad beans! (plot1)

Enjoy!

[Mrs Dobby]

Other crops - home garden!

As the title says!

First piccy is of the plastic walk in greenhouse, methinks its a bit crowded!

Second piccy is of our first truss of toms!

Third Piccy is of 3 of our heritage variety spuds that we are growing in containers!

Fourth piccy is of our cut and come again salad leaf, herbs in pots and the strawberries (flowering) in planters made from plastic 25l oil drums!

Fifth piccy is of one of the strawberry hanging baskets!


Anyone else want to add some piccies of their veg?

[Flummery]

What cracking plants Mrs D. You've both worked very hard I can see. Hope Mr D's taking it easy for a bit now though!

[Hazel at the Hill]

Tea!

It was a bit dark and wet for piccys at the Hill tonight, but here's what I picked for my tea - the potatoes are rocket, and in the pan are some spinach thinnings (hector f1)

When did you sow or plant your chillies, Mrs D? They're looking really good

[Snadger]

Very impressive Mrs D.! You and Dobby have a plot(s) to be proud of!

[JennieAtkinson]

Well done to you both! It is all looking great.

My broad beans are about level with yours but everything else is WAY ahead!

[moggssue]

You're way ahead of me! And you're at it with the spuds in pots too! I planted the ones I inherited last night ... better late than never I guess! Hope it all tastes as good as it looks - do Mr D the world of good! Sue

[Dobby]

When did you sow or plant your chillies, Mrs D? They're looking really good

Think them ones might have been near the end of january I'd have to go down the plot and have a look at the lable
I know we have very itchy fingers in january and whent a bit mad with the planting even planted some toms

[HeyWayne]

WOW! I feel quite slow of the mark now! Looks fantastic, well done you guys. Most of what I have are still in plastic vending cups apart from my courgettes which I've moved into larger pots.

Here are my strawberries, but I inherited them from the previous keeper. (they're the whitish area towards the back of the plot).

Looking Good Dobbys! Can you come and sort out my lottie now..?

[Alice]

Absolutely brilliant Mr and Mrs D.
You sure have put the work in - but what a great reward.
Enjoy it all.

[Mrs Dobby]

Thanks for all the kind comnments guys n gals!

Hazel, your 'tea' looks great! Your deffo ahead of us with the spuds!

Moggssue, we got a four heritage varieties of spuds off another grape (Crazy Chickie) in return for a batch of leek seeds we sent her, and decided to plant them into tubs so we can ensure we can identify them and hopefully get enough to use some and save some for next year!

HeyWayne, your plot looks fab too!

Rustylady, the Naga Jolokias were put onto damp kitchen towel inside a sealed plastic bag in the heated propogator at the end of Jamuary, planted up once they had germinated and potted on a couple of times before planting out at the end of April! I know we were early putting them into the greenhouse, but they were getting soo big that we needed to do something, so in they went! They sufferred a week or so's check to growth, due to the temperature diff, but are now romping away!

Now, where are everyoine elses piccies of their crops???? Come on folks, I didnt start this thread just to look for some kind words, but for all of us to show our crops, be they seedlings or mamoth plantlets! Lets see em folks!

[Alice]

Well, if you insist on seeing Mrs D you can look at
Charlotte potatoes grown in a bucket - already eaten them
Cherie, grown in a bucket - now eaten
Raised bed
My curcubits - butternut squash, carnival squash, courgette - defender and orelia, cucumbers - marketmore and lemon.
Must take some more pics.
Was delighted to see yours.

I love seeing all the pictures....It is really fun to see what everyone is doing...I am sure there are differences in gardening and gardening practices so I am having fun reading all the different posts.
