tomato, runner beans french beans in 'zippy-up'

I was quite inspired by countryfile tonight Richard and we can pat ourselves on the back because we are doing our bit towards growing our own and reducing the amount of imported veg!! I ate my first lettuce this weekend...it was really good!

Thanks Karen -you have done well to have a lettuce already I am still waiting for mine. I missed countryfile but can still see it on iplayer or something like that I think. Do you like my staging Karen it is two shoe racks upside down!.....lol :-)

What a great idea! nice recycling! When I had the zippy up, the wind destroyed it and I used the integral green mesh staging to grow climbers up on the fence. they are gone now, but they came in handy at the time!

Actually, I wish I'd kept them because they would have come in really handy for keeping my heavy boots off the seeded lawn patches!

I try to recycle things if I can -as you probably have noticed before :-)

Yes! ;))

I've had quite a few salads from my lettuce leaves.

I have not had any yet this year Carol but shouldn't be too long now :-)

Good luck mind you if i can grow lettuce leaves anyone can.start mine going in march, thinking of that the weather feels like March not May.

Mine have been outside since about mid March. I have a window box that has some salad bowl in there from last year and they are just showing signs of shooting again :-)

Got my greenhouse i put mine in, its only 6-4, but to say yours as been outside there doing well.

I have a window sill upstairs in the spare bedroom Carol stocked full of tomato and chillies -they are doing ever so well there. I tried them outside first and nothing happened as soon as I took them in they have put on a good spurt. I will take a photo later :-)

OK, look forward to photo....

Its good when you can just go out into the garden and pick a few veg Cristina isn't it -they seem to taste better than the ones in the shop too somehow...lol.
