Vegetables so far
« on: June 13, 2010, 10:48 »
These were grown from seed.













Leeks, Carrots, Purple Brocolli, onions, shallots, beetroot, greyhound cabbages, webbed lettuce and flat letucce.
In a severe lightning storm, grab ya ankles, and stick ya butt in the air.

Oxalis - a darn nuisance.

Seeds go everywhere when the pods explode.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Great stuff weathergirl; well done!

Thanks for putting a name to one of my more annoying weeds DD; not got it all over the place but it's a swine to pull out, it breaks off instead of coming out cleanly (just like chickweed) and is a bit too chunky to hoe off easily either.  :mad:
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

All looking good, it's my 1st proper year of growing and I'm amazed at how sowing such tiny seeds can grow into such great veg, you should be proud of what you've got there

Ha ha, it really is true a weed is just a plant in the wrong place.  We had some oxalis come up in the garden but it didn't show this year so my mum had me go to the garden centres to find that "nice plant with the browny purple leaves and the pretty yellow flowers".
Weathergirl your veg looks fabulous, I hope my cabbage and broccoli grow up to be just like yours  :)
