Aww Saz .. I'm sure it is because your up North ..they'll catch up .. I live in a deep valley so really sheltered .. and we get a lot of rain in Wales

[perchy]

I was so pleased with my toms, they are 6 ", I've just put them in grow bags,
My peas are also coming along at almost 2 "
I'm hoping it is 'cos I'm up North

I am with you too Saz, we are behind by a mile, we will catch up

seriously ..I actually suggested that to hubby today .. we had to fell 2 Holme Oaks yesterday as they were infected with Phytophthora ramorum .. the desease that killed all the Japanese larch trees!! .. I'm worried it might appear on other plants so I now have this picture in my head of the whole garden covered in a dome to protect it.

[perchy]

Aww Jannie, we were talking about that when we met, I do hope it doesn't affect anything else in your garden, I know I banter with you, but you love your garden and it loves you.

you know what happens when I get an image in my head.

sadly this time I'll have to stick to keeping my fingers crossed and daily checks

I feel as though I'm now on top of everything in the garden .. spent yesterday looking for things to do .. dug up a few more potatoes to make room for the squashes



In the front garden I put in the supports for the perennials and tied in a wisteria that keep insisting on growing up the wrong pillar on the pergola

Everything is looking healthy despite having had the 2 deseased holme oaks.



must change the fleece over the cabbages for some fine netting .. it's spoiling the view a bit..

Also sowed some more courgettes, radish, beetroot and salad leaves whilst Hubby finished grouting the courtyard paving

[perchy]

I agree Jannie spoils the look, but when you have tidied up a bit am sure it will be lovely

[jannie]

I knew you'd agree Perchy!! ..

[perchy]

I knew you'd agree Perchy!! ..

It is beautiful, but like I said when you clear and tidy will be gorgeous

[Sara]

I love your Garden Jannie..... it looks so lovely and productive too...

[jannie]

Aww thank you Sara .. It's a good feeling growing your own isn't? .. even after all these years I still get a thrill cooking food I've grown myself

[sazchops]

Mine are in the pollytunnel!
Everything is doing really well up here!
I like to think that when I am still tucking into fresh veg, going into winter you will be going to the shop






And I like green tomatoes and tiny courgettes.
