Mel, I think I'm going to have to. I like pineapple but I'm not even that fussed. I just want to watch it grow lol

Dear Janet and Mick from the Bush

Hello,

Are you our GR Australian cousins?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Janet, your son is lovely; growing vegetables and taking pictures of them.

MIck, you send like you are going into business!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My ancestors were market stall holders and worked in gardens.

As for my family, we use the area community garden.
We are growing lettuces, tomatoes and small potatoes.

Best wishes to you both and your families.

Nothing like fresh vegetables

lol Lesley you really must grow a pineapple x

found this article on growing pineapples :-)

We have a small-ish garden but I have two large pots with two tomatoes in each (flowering plus a few baby toms showing) two more large pots with bell peppers, one pot of chili peppers, one large pot with a cucumber and a few lettuces. The lettuce is much nicer than the shop stuff - roll on the toms!!

He is used to it by now Lesley .... I had a spell where I was always moving plants and shrubs about .... or at least I was supervising him lol

Not sure if the soil is not right for the garlic ....or the weather.Shallots seem good though.

just don't mention my name Ann, I don't want him blaming me for giving you ideas lol

I agree Lesley - much prefer cherry toms :) will have to try them next year

*starts re-designing garden* OH will be pleased .... all that digging LOL

sorry to hear that helen...what happened to it?

The thing about tumbling Toms Ann is that it seems less hassle than tomatoes in a greenhouse and cherry tomatoes taste so good hmmmm

Garlic not looking too good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do Lesley .... and do enjoy pottering in the garden, so might start a veggie patch again ....

Hi Helen...... garlic...now there's a thought.

Do you have space on a wall somewhere for a hanging basket of tomatoes Ann? The ones I have are called Tumbling Toms and are specially grown for containers or hanging baskets. There's loads of little yellow flowers on mine :-)

**wonders what I could grow if I raided the fridge lol**

we have an herb patch just outside kitchen door very useful x

Have just had our first lot of peas and plenty more to come .Dwarf Beans ,Runner Beans,garlic.Cucumbers and tomatoes in the greenhouse and tomatoes in grow bags on the patio.Oh and my herb garden.

new potato's and baby carrots yummy mmmmmmmmm lol

I don't have a greenhouse anymore, so stopped with the tomatoes Lesley .... and I used to get lots of rhubarb from dads .... oh and I have grown strawberries in the past as well .... but the weather ruined plants so didn't get any more ....

My garden now is taken up with shrubs and flowers ... but might think about a strawberry patch again one day lol
