What are you growing (picture heavy!)

I think it is time we shared what we are growing in our gardens, then we can keep a check on how it is all growing and give each other inspiration

Parsnips, guess why there is wire netting around them



Strawberries



Tomatoes



Carrots



French Marigolds



Sunflowers



Sweetpeas



And finally the Montana, running riot as usual



There is more but I think this enough for now
Look forward to seeing yours

I wish I could grow stuff but I can never look after plants - my sunflower didn't grow properly when I was 7 so I gave up. But...

Cooking apple tree


They grow without me needing to bother

It's not ours - it overhangs so shhhh! I don't eat fruit but if I can get to it before the wasps and birds - I plan to sell it - you know sign on the front garden sort of thing..just to make a little extra..there's a man selling free range eggs from his garden so why can't I sell fruit

My Dad has an old coal bunker (metal - it's newer than our old stone one which is now not there) filled with spuds and before Louie wrecked the mini greenhouse he had (oops) he was growing something in there.
His lawn however (20ft by 6ft) used to be a vegetable patch - then a patio and now a lawn..

it could be because it's not strictly yours to sell but I admire your enterprise

I will take some photo's over the weekend and post them up but as a quick list this year we are growing:

* Three varieties of tomato
* Three varieties of potato
* Radish
* Carrots
* Chilli
* Peas
* Runner Beans
* Shallots
* Cabbage
* Mixed Salad leaves
* A selection of herbs - parsley, coriander, sage, rosemary, chives and thyme.
* Strawberries
* Raspberries

And then in addition to that i've got hanging baskets on the go, new honeysuckle plants to go over my archway, lilies and a rose bush that my mum gave me and I might grow a couple of sunflowers for the birds as well.

Well so far all I have is mint, parsely and strawberries

But I am going to be doing potatoes, courgettes, carrots and tomatoes hopefully. The trouble I have is a Northfacing garden and bad soil so I am going to be doing lots of pots that I can move around.

I am not a big gardener but I love a nice garden, so I do tend to rely on my very greenfingered Mother to help me out

I will get some photos sorted
