veggie plot.

I can see peas hanging , Yummy !

Linda...are you like me? I sneak the peas fresh as they ripen!

Me to they are delicious raw in their pods ...

Hi Amy, yes the peas are ready to pick, although we've eaten a few already.
Hi Ck I can't eat them raw, but I know some people love them like that.

Hi HB the peas are all now picked and frozen and only one maggot found. Lovely that you are encouraging the children with growing veggies. We always start our peas by growing in pots in the greenhouse first then planting them out and we try to protect them from the Sparrows nibbling them by putting nets over, but the circular growing for the peas works well with us on our small plot HB.

Love peas straight from the pod.......

Your veggie patch looks very organised Lindak. My fruit and veggies spread out round the garden. Potatoes are a tasty accident, dug up by foxes recently. blackberry rampant due to lots of rain. 9 new canes, so a complete renewal in Autumn using new canes. Apples and pears. 2 courgettes growing in a big tub on the patio. Self sown beans in the border with the roses!. Hazel nuts if the tree gives after a heavy prune in February.

Hi Dorjac and DD. It's only a small patch so it has to be organised really. Gerry planted out the leeks in holes to start with and something filled them all in that night, so he had to start again. Hope you get a good crop of veg wherever they grow DJ. Our peas taste lovely, but can't eat them raw. We have a small distorted Hazel in a tub but it hasn't produced many nuts for a few years now.
