  1. It's looking great, I don't think you'll be going hungry this year. My mangetout have been ravaged by slugs and I haven't managed to get any beetroot to germinate. I think I shall have to sow some in modules before it gets too late.

  2. I loved The Young Ones!
    Your veggies look amazing...I guess you sowed the seed, nature grew them and soon you'll be eating the seed.

  4. Your produce looks fantastic. I have grown a few vegies in pots this year. I fear that if I grew them in the garden I would end up with some very fat slugs and snails and no vegies. I still get them in the pots but can control them without hurting the birds.
    Will you be watching Lytham Gala on Saturday? My daughter is with the visiting Queen from Thornton. Praying that it's not going to rain.

  6. Good luck with your harvesting later on. So far our garden is looking OK , although everything is behind because of the weird weather this summer.
