Vegie patch


Time for an update on vegie patch happenings. Above are my Golden Nugget pumpkins. They're rather cute and the plant is more of a bush than sprawling like a lot of pumpkins plants are.


A baby Butternut pumpkin.


The corn has been super slow and I doubt we'll get much off it this year. Note to self; plant more next year.


The tomatoes are very very slow to ripen as we haven't had much sunny weather. I seem to forget which variety these are.


These ones are looking nice - they're Black Russian. Yum!


One of my favourite apple varieties - Cox's Orange Pippin.


One of my other faves is Lady in the Snow. Lucky for me, my two trees pollinate each other.
I've just planted more carrots, rocket, lettuce, some beans and have yellow squash on their way.
What have you guys got growing?

Apples and apricots

As I mentioned before, Dad and I (mostly Dad) planted some fruit trees including a new apricot, two apples and my old nectarine tree which had been in a pot for about 8 years! The apples are Cox's Orange and Lady in the Snow, two of my all time favourites.



I also transplanted two rose bushes and discovered I have room for about 3 more so have been looking at some of my favourite David Austin varieties. They are all starting to come into the shops so it is a fun time.
