Coming along nicely in the greenhouse...............
Four of the Cascade tomato plants are in the baskets on the garage wall and there was one left over so instead of chucking it out it's standing in the greenhouse and is producing some teeny weeny tomatoes.......... as are the ones outside.
These are Big Mama Plum tomatoes.
I have aubergines and these grow almost as you watch them. I'm looking forward to making the aubergine and tomato pasta sauce to put in the freezer.
Lots more aubergine flowers, hopefully will produce lots more aubergines
And 'pointy' sweet peppers
Cucumbers lurking among the lush greenery, and I've already eaten 3 cucumbers and given 2 away.
I let plant number 4, that I didn't really have room for, produce two cucumbers -while I took the teeny ones off the other 3 plants. Then plant 4 went in the compost heap and the other 3 are now climbing halfway round the greenhouse.
And from outside I have the first slightly manky (word origin - British, meaning - slightly inferior!) raspberries - just one cane is obviously a yellow fruited raspberry.
And that's why I love growing things to eat.
Back Tomorrow

. . . and eating them! It looks amazing and your tomatoes are way, way further on than mone. Not that I'm jealous or anything - not at all .
ReplyDeleteThe flavour is incomparable!

We planted 2 dwarf raspberries and have had 5 eat so far. Hopefully better next year. Taste gorgeous though.
ReplyDeleteWe used the word manky for years ( without knowing how it is spelt) and now here in France we have a variations of manque, manqué and manquer which are generally things missing, shortage and not up to the mark. Could this be more 1066 connection?
ReplyDeleteEven after decades of growing things from seed, it never fails to amaze me, the miracle of life, a big plant growing so quickly, nurtured from a tiny seed.
ReplyDeleteVery impressed. I love the flowers on the aubergine!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue for the information on the Hay Fever I will get some honey when I go shopping even thou I don't like it but I can try it again.
ReplyDeleteYour garden looks so well, I have one raspberry cane I planted this year it has no fruit yet but is healthly. We had rain last night so I am pleased I never water the garden.

Must have been someone else regarding the hay fever/honey thing - not me.
DeleteSorry Sue I did not read it properly.
DeleteEverything looks luscious.....
ReplyDeleteThe wonders of Mother Nature never ceases to amaze. Everything looks wonderful, you are blessed with a green finger.
ReplyDeleteNothing tastes better than that which you grow yourself! You're way ahead of me. Although I am now harvesting strawberries. Could you share your tomato / aubergine (eggplant to us) sauce recipe? -Jenn
ReplyDeleteIt's a very simple but tasty sauce and is on the separate Recipe page at the top under the header. Scroll down past a few other recipes
DeleteAll looks good. Your greenhouse speeds up the growing process for those warm weather crops.
ReplyDeleteI always used to grow too many tomato plants. Just couldn't seem to help it. This is the first year I'm not growing any. It is lovely to eat your own produce. I ate salad leaf and strawberries from the garden today. Lovely!
