August Update

Here are a few photos of what's growing.

Tomatoes: The tomatoes in June, not long after we got them. 

 Here are the tomatoes now. Haven't they grown?! You can't see any tomatoes growing on this photo, although there are a few in there. You can see a nice yellow flower though, that will hopefully soon be a tomato too. These plants smell amazing.

Courgettes: You can see quite a few lovely yellow courgettes growing here. We have four courgette plants. We've been dining very well on courgettes this summer. 

Marigolds: Aren't they pretty?

Runner Beans: With marigolds in front and fennel behind. This time last year we'd been feasting on runners for weeks, but they've yet to grow any beans this year. I think we planted them much later this year, and it's also been colder. And I haven't been watering them as much. Hopefully there'll be some beans in the Autumn. 

So, that's about it. We've also got a load of onions, lots of delicious potatoes, two very tiny aubergines and a random brassica which Andrew planted but I can't remember what it is. Only one survived. We'll find out what it is when it starts growing properly. We did also have some seedlings growing at home, pumpkins and squash and other Autumnal fare, but the b***** squirrels that live in our garden dug them all up. Will have to make more use of the greenhouse next year.
