As some of you know, my veg the past year has left much to be desired, but here's something I grew earlier!!    

[Cazzy]

Variety is the Spice of Life!

I normally take a little bit here and a little bit there but harvesting for this picture made me realise what a lot of things we have grown. Not bad for year two me thinks!

Beauty and the Beast.



These were growing right next to each other and are my first parsnips of the year, dug up yesterday. This is one of the things I love about my allotment, you never know what you're going to end up with. I grow organically and I happily take whatever nature gives me.

 

[1st time veg grower]

Ok so this is my go - all grown in the vicarage garden, which don't be fooled, being literally in the middle of a small market town is not very big at all! This bench is where I usually sit to look at my little veg patch (and I laid the wonky cobbles myself):

[Y.E.A.H]

here's my entry, not much produce but i like the photo  

there's an acorn squash, pumpkin, sunflower head, 3 courgettes, spinach, baby pattypans, purple climbing french beans, green climbing french beans, borlotti beans, and sloe berries.
hope you all like it  :happy:

Picked all the "tenders" today in case of frost. Got a huge bowl of cherry toms and these.

[agingchick]

This is my first go at growing veg a bit of what I have grown has been eaten so some things are missing such as beetroot (delicious) and rhubarb and some things are not ready the peppers are not red yet and my leeks have disappeared, but I have enjoyed my self and learnt a lot so roll on next year(and better growing weather)
