This is some of my growings in a garden I started March this year. I'm further on than I thought I would be.

Well, there is a serious pat on the back for you!
So you came in half-way-through and grew those gorgeous caulis - you can go off people, you know!
Well done, Alice, you deserve every delicious mouthful!Last edited by Hazel at the Hill; 21-08-2008, 01:42 AM. -

Is that a challenge?Originally posted by Snadger View PostNicely layed out montage Alice! I bet Flum couldn't make a quilt like that!
Actually, I have a tablecloth like that. I made it about 4 years ago and it's all fruit and vegetable fabrics - it's called Five Portions a Day!
By the way, really well done Alice on getting so much with a relatively late start - and so far Up North. But then, you always did have green fingers!Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.

Yes, well done Alice - you've done more in your short season than I have managed in a whole year!
You beat me to it Flum, I was going to say to take Snadger up on that bet

Beautiful. Very very impressive.
And what amazes me (apart from everything else) is how clean your veg is! All scrubbed up for a photo parade (I don't think mine is that clean even when I eat it!! 
)
I think that fuit and veg quilt might turn into a project for the winter...Last edited by Demeter; 21-08-2008, 08:25 PM.Warning: I have a dangerous tendency to act like I know what I'm talking about.

Well done, I think you should write a book.

Thank you everybody. I'm well pleased given that I started with nothing but gravel and grass in March this year.
Flummery - fabulous patchwork - love it.
Small blue planet - the book would be very short
Choose your site carefully - south facing and sheltered
Give plenty of TLC
Take piccies of your best stuff.

wow! wish my first year had gone as well as that!!.. every brasicca I put in the ground seems to get eaten by something no matter how much protection i give them (very jealous of your cauli, looks delicious), my tomatoes are all green still and I have 2 whole peppers coming (and I don't know if they're lipstick or chilli thanks to a labelling cock up
)

not all doom and gloom tho (before you all start feeling sorry for me) I've had some gorgeous spuds, onions, garlic, spinach, beans and courgettes and I'm shaping up for a bumper crop of apples and blackberries.. hadn't thought to photograph any of them tho.. might do that

Becca, take some piccies. You can enter them in the showcase - there is a category for berries. Good luck.
