How does your garden grow??

I love being in the garden with the boys. Looking over as the oldest one calls out "Is this a weed mum??" and laughing as the littlest one climbs into the weed cart and makes a nest.

I dream of all the produce that I will potentially grow, harvest, bring to the table or freeze and preserve.

However the reality is a little shy of this.....

Over the late winter early spring I got enough spinach and salad greens to keep us in salads one or two meals a week.

My broad beans showed promise but made it into about 3 meals.

ooooohhhh and I think I grew the smallest beets in the world!!

It is not all sad news though.....

My cauli's have been huge and so far I have harvest 2 of the 4 plants that popped up.

My broad beans are re-flowering .............fingers crossed and I have snow peas popping out everywhere.

As you know my spuds are out of control.

The 7 tomato plants that made it through the soil are almost knee high.

I am trying to increase my harvest potential by planting a few more seeds in seed pots instead of direct sowing and so far all but 1 of the 24 pots have babies in them.

So I am crossing my fingers that the gardening gods are now smiling this way..... even if it means they have to glance away from this fabulous garden for a second or two!!
