1 tomato, 2 tomatoes, 3 tomatoes 4

This is the last of the tomato crop from this summer. All grown in
what sunshine Ayrshire had this summer. They've been fantastic and the
taste has been beyond compare. Just got the winter vegetables to look
forward to, in nice big stews and soups.

Vegetable Update - another update

Think it's fair to say I'll be eating plenty of salads this weekend.
They're doing great and the fine weather is helping, happy days.

Vegetable Experiment - Update

The last few days of really good weather has seen an explosion in the
salad planters. More days like those should see me picking the first
leaves quite soon. Looking forward to it.

The salads

Salads are going well. Just watered them again. Still no sign of the
French beans. However the garlic had now sprout. It's all good in the
salad corner.

Vegetable Experiment - Update

Just a quick update on some of my planters. I'll start with the tall
planter in the corner. I planted the French beans in here, no sign of
anything.

The middle size planter next to the watering can. This one is the
mixed salad, no idea what leaves I'm going to get there. Not that you
can see from photo but I have some small shoots showing.

The last of the big planters has the rocket, not showing and the lambs
lettuce, which is the big green band you can see. It's doing well,
could probably do with a bit more sun, if anything.

The herbs have been so far a no show, except for the tarragon. The
thyme has started to show some green shoots but the parsleys are not
to be seen, yet.

It's still early but hopefully by the middle of May I'll be using some
if the salad leaves. Here's to hoping.
