Now, because i finally know how ...some pictures.




This picture of the herb garden was taken at the beginning of last month





...and this was taken today.


The coriander has run to seed now, always seems to happen so quickly. The dill has also gone to seed. The parsley that i fretted over all those weeks ago is now flourishing as you can see (bottom left bed). The basil (bottom right) is just about to flower so i think i will nip some leaves off and freeze them.





This is the pea and bean row (bed 3).

This was also taken at the beginning of June. The peas were starting to climb but there were no beans to be seen. In fact they maynot even have been planted at this stage - can't remember!




Today!

The peas (Alderman) are just about finished now. I'm thinking about planting an autumn crop but not sure if i've left it too late. The first lot of runner beans are starting to form and the second batch (bottom right) are just starting to climb. On the other side of the supports are two lots of climbing French bean (Neckar Queen). The first lot of these are now in flower.




This is bed 2.

There is Calabrese (at the bottom of the photo), then my block of sweetcorn, then three mammoth courgette plants. The huge plants you can see against the fence at the back are Jerusalem Artichokes. We have loads of them and don't even like the bloomin things that much. They are impossible to get rid of!! The sweetcorn is doing ok. the top two rows don't seem to be doing as well as the other two though, and i have no idea why.
