I thought I would post a few pics of my plot now that things have finally started to grow!

Here's my onions, harvested a bit early but that storm snapped all the leaves. There's a couple of a decent size though.



My brassica bed, I had the first cabbage last week with butter and black pepper..... absolutely gorgeous. My new spuds are in the background, a long way to go yet.



My strawberry bed, I have a big bowl to eat after my dinner tonight  



My sweetcorn with my artichokes in the background. The sweetcorn have flower heads showing, aren't they a bit small??



Finally, an asparagus pea flower, not sure what to expect from these  :?



All in all I don't think too bad for my first proper year at growing vegetables......

Nice one Fletch. All looks fit and healthy :!:

My sweetcorn are not much bigger although no heads showing yet. Still only early July though.

Sorry fletch.  Your plot is not right!  You have NO slugs, NO snails and not even a sign of GREENFLY or BLACKFLY!!!  What's up with you???  (Just jealous!)   Well done, looks really luscious, especially the strawberries

[Porffor]

OMG!!! i'm dying of shock at your cauli's... mine are yet to form a middle..

Fantastic pics, but i'm going green with envy! lol

Thanks for your comments.

You have NO slugs, NO snails and not even a sign of GREENFLY or BLACKFLY

Hmmmm, I never really thought about that. Slugs I do have, but I use the odd pellet  :oops: but I've never had greenfly or blackfly. There's tons of birds around here so I wonder if that has got anything to do with it?

About 80% of my brassicas have bolted.  I planted them when I think they were probably pot bound and too large but nothing ventured nothing gained.  I have about 8 broccoli and 6 caulis that look ok, no heads yet so hope that they might not bolt.

My plot is bolting city!
If you look at the red onions opposite my strawberries a load of them have bolted but I'm just leaving them as the onions aren't much cop and can't imagine they'll come to much. My spinach is about to bolt, as have most of my salads. I can't harvest things fast enough is the problem, but never mind.

About a third of my broccoli (calabrese) bolted, I'm leaving them too as insects love them, but the rest are all starting to produce heads now  



I'm loving this time of year, I picked my first courgette today and it seems like every day I go up there there is something new

I've got asparagus peas - I tried some of my neighbours last year which I thought were quite nice, but now I have grown two rows of my own have decided they aren't so nice after all   but they're worth growing just for the flowers

That's a good looking plot Fletch, you should be proud of yourself

Great pictures

[GrannieAnnie]

Yep, all looking great fletch!  did you get the cuttings I sent you?

[Tigerhair]

That's what I want.... it's brill - I love looking at photos of other people's plots...  

[fletch]

Thanks for all the comments guys. I can't believe that this time last year I almost gave it up as it was just a weed riddled mess  :shock:

Ann, yes I received them (I sent you a PM) I potted them up yesterday so fingers crossed
