Well done you, its my 1st year growing my own and I have been really disapointed with the outcome (ie beetroots/carrots/onions didn't bulk lost alot of spring onions and I've just got loads of green tomatoes). BUT when I look at that picture it makes me want to carry on and produce veg like yours, so I will give it another go next year with everything crossed!

I forgot to put the onions in!!

They're going to use the January King cabbage as the centerpiece!
Wasn't the biggest, but it was the one with the less eaten outside leaves.

I don't know - it just did.

The "marrow" in the middle is a courgette BTW!

This was only for display purposes. Not exactly pulled nor forked out, so I didn't damage it, I dug a hole alongside it & dragged it out sideways!
