Tomatoes before and after

Sentries of the greenhouse

These litle beauties keep bad stuff away from the tomato plants apparently.  Not quite sure if it's slugs or,black fly but they seem to work as the tomatoes are doing very nicely.  French Marigolds by the way.  From seed.  You can eat the flowers too although I haven't tried that . . . yet.  

Tomatoes

A bit more manageable harvesting tomatoes because they conveniently ripen at different times.  

Get the red ones and leave the green ones until later - unless you're doing Fried Green Tomatoes of course (is that even something real?)

Barbecued courgettes

Courgettes coming thick and fast now but still taking them while they're not too big.  Elaine says that they could be a biit darker (green) but, whatever, they taste great sliced up and grilled.

Peas

Nearly enough for more than me!

Garlic

Harvested a week or so ago and dried out in the shed so I thought I'd try my hand at plaiting.  They're a bit smaller than they should be because I did plan them a little late.  Not bad though and they'll be superb next year.

Courgettes, tomatoes, peppers and peas

Tonight's pick.  The beauty of having lots of courgette plants is that you can take a load of them when their super small with the flowers on.

Tomatoes coming strong but the peas still a disappointment.  I think that they are planted a bit too close together actually so it's worth another go next year.

Few green peppers, a bit small but cute aren't they?
