Garden Update 09-08-2009

August 9th, 2009

Hi All

Just a quick update on the veg growing in the garden with some pics

They seem to be enjoying the few dry days we have had recently rather than the constant rain that we have been having

The sugar snap peas seem to have went a bit mad and reaching a good height now starting to flower so hopefully not long now till we get some peas

Tatties…..

November 23rd, 2008

Back in September I was reading on the BBC website about growing your own veg so I decided to try it with some potatoes I had

So after following there instructions I did but instead of planting in the ground I decided to do them in a large tub hence the reason for the smaller size

This is a picture of my first crop…lol

Also shot at f/1.8
