The rocket can be picked on a near daily basis, although some of the plants are now overshooting and starting to produce flowers. I had some of the Swiss Chard as well, although not enough for a meal. Instead I used it in my cheese sandwich.
The strawberries are finally doing something and I had my first two red, juicy ones the other day. They were yummy and full of flavour. Better than the ones you get in the supermarket anyway! The tomatoes still have a way to go. They are still only small plants. The cabbages however are growing well.
So far this garden has been a lot of fun for me. And tasty as well...

ReplyDelete...the tip for next year, I would say, is have them in the ground of the wonderful garden you now have... or the greenhouse you might want to build in there.... oh the possibilities! YAM xx
The garden is north facing, so I would really have to pick and choose exactly those plants that can cope with those conditions. I am still not sure about what I will do with the garden. It will depend on finances of course as well...
DeleteStrawberries here were hit hard by a late frost. we may not have strawberries and cream with Wimbledon this year.
ReplyDeleteYour garden pots are filling out nicely. Will you be able to move them to your new home?

Nothing beats straight from the plant to the table or mouth!
ReplyDeleteI can measure my food in inches rather than miles!
DeleteWay to go! I'm enjoying our garden too and we just had our first zucchini. Tomatoes are coming along. Cucumbers are growing along with onions. Have some flowers on the red pepper plant. We are getting approximately 10 strawberries each day from that one plant that took over the whole planter area from last year. Enjoy....
