Grow your own

Our veggie garden has been a bit of a mixed bag this year (not half as good as last year). In June we had quite a few nice strawberries, even though the plants are healthy, no more fruit since then. They have however propagated like crazy and now we have a whole strawberry plantation. Our courgette plants are small but are producing loads of lovely flowers. Little courgies start growing but then just seem to shrivel up and drop off. Only one has grown big so far and it was a very odd shape (nothing like last year's delicious monsters). Our chillies are flourishing and lots of little peppers are finally starting to appear. Our tomatoes are looking the most promising - we've had a few ripe ons so far - if all goes well we'll be harvesting a fair crop soon. Oh and our flower boxes are looking pretty good now. Luckily Gogo Greenfingers is here and she is trying to sort it all out for us!
