The garden is growing really well these days! I’m sure it could be hotter, weather-wise, for the tomatoes, peppers and eggplant – but I love this cooler weather.
Garden overview, June 12:
The cucumber is climbing! We got exactly 1 cucumber last year, but I have high hopes for this one.
The sweet cherry peppers are flowering…
..and little ones are appearing!
The zucchini also failed rather spectacularly last year, but this year we have 130L tubs to grow in! Pretty flower with a tiny zucchini behind it.
We have two types of Asian eggplant growing – white and magenta. I also sowed some radishes in there to make the most of the space.
The peas are giant, and just started flowering.
A new variety of tomato for me this year – Riesenstraube. Looking good, nice and bushy.
The bigger tomatoes are flowering too!
The indoor herbs are doing well too, though the lettuce was over-seeded and got all leggy. This morning I harvested what there was, took out the stems, and re-seeded more thinly for a new crop.
In crafting news, I finally finished this guy – and one row of my Superhero alphabet.
And I started a new summery shrug, out of madelinetosh pashmina. I had to take the weekend off to rest my arm, but I’m hoping to get lots done this week.
