So, Tell Us, What Are Ye All At In The Veg Garden?

[lksopener 105]

Hello chaps, new to visiting this thread but I have a little plot on the back garden. Grew, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, runner beans, courgettes, carrots and butternut squash this year.

 

Is there anything I can be sowing now to grow over winter?

Lots, Garlic, Onions, Spring Cabbage and a bit later on end of October beginning of November Broad beans Aquadluce Claudia, or The Sutton are two good winter varieties.

One of my "money maker" plants. The plum tomatoes are coming on nice now too, are they good for eating raw or best for cooking with?

The ones we had tasted fine though not as nice as the black krim and any surplus or damaged ones I froze down for bolognese etc

[gnipper 6,466]

I was thinking of knocking up a load of passata and freezing that.

My first decent carrots today and pulled few beetroot to store in compost can't leave them in the ground slugs would riddle them other wise

 

Threw plastic cover over the strawberry bed to shut the weeds up see if it works as well as it did last year

Just off out to deliver some more runners and beetroot to a couple of permissions at this rate I can see a few people moving house they will be sick of the bloody things

But its the thought that counts

Have they been productive for you ? I am glad to see mine starting to die down had lots went to waste and there's still a few on the plant that have gone huge

Only 2 scrawny ones,I just pulled off plants as I'm going to rip them out,when kids are at school.

Never mind always next year.

This is the variety I used

only had 2 plants and the dam fridge was full. If I have any seeds left I can post you some not sure if I do though need to have a sort. I could save some off the plant but I think cross pollination is an issue

Cheers for the offer terry,I got sweet tub of veg seeds in shed, i think I need to sort them out,think some May be over 2 year out of date lol,so will have less chance of germination.

Just started pulling my ears of corn, the odd kernel missing but they taste lovely.
