Apart from the potatoes, we have been harvesting courgettes, beans, lettuce, spring onions, cucumbers and have just started to harvest tomatoes. We have now finished our homegrown carrots and, when I have harvested the last of the potatoes we will sow some more.
I grew two new varieties of tomato from seed this year one was just called Bush Tomato and I should have spaced them further apart. They have just started to set fruit. The other one was called Riesentraube and that is also just setting. The tomatoes I have started picking are Oxheart and they have had funny little green "tails" on them. They have traces of copper on them as Doug sprayed them because of the humid weather we have had.
So it looks like a few mainly indoor days. I roasted a leg of lamb today so plenty of left-overs. My favourites.
I notice there is not a lot of difference between the day and night temperatures so we could be in for some humid nights
Our weather forecast for the next few days is not looking too bright either. I hope your garden survives through all that rain and wind (I've put extra ties around my tomatoes, just in case).
ReplyDeleteI did some extra tying up as well and just picked the beans in case it is too nasty tomorrow.
DeleteA beautifully productive garden ❤️
ReplyDeleteAll the warmth and rain has done wonders.
DeleteOh how I miss my veg' garden.
ReplyDeleteEven though it is a lot of work I would hate to have to give up my garden.
DeleteYou have a very lush garden. Can't believe there's more rain coming. Hope everything survives
ReplyDeleteIt has just started to get heavy. Fingers crossed that everything survives.
DeleteThe garden produce looks wonderful: the weather forecast not so much.
ReplyDeleteWe would get the wind in particular just as everything is doing so well.
DeleteWe have had 4 ripe tomatoes, the vines are loaded, have beans, courgettes, lettuce, carrots, beetroot, and waiting for the rain on Thursday so I can plant things out in the flower gardens. Already it seems to be a little darker in the mornings, but we too have had really hot days.Those bush plants look interesting.
ReplyDeleteI discovered afterwards that the bush tomatoes need 1 - 2 metres. They are very sturdy plants. I have just read that this rain is going to be for the next TEN DAYS. Hope it is better down there. Your garden sounds very productive as well. All the best for 2023.
