My Kitchen Garden

The weather was quite gracious for a few days and Terence and myself were very busy continuing our kitchen garden. We are now the proud parents of 9 raised beds in which we have onions (red and white), beetroot, cabbages (red and white), peas, broccoli, carrots and lots more.....

Yellow courgettes are coming on nicely in their pots and also my little pumpkins are looking lovely. In a few days I am hoping to plant them out soon. In the greenhouse, we are trying to grow cucumbers, chillies and tomatoes (which are looking good at the moment). Leeks are taking longer than I thought but they are showing also promise... but the star of the garden at the moment is of course my herb garden - which includes at the moment rosemary, sage (green and purple), tarragon, mint and thyme..... I am still looking for lemon verbena (I lost my old one due to the bad weather over Christmas) and will extend the assortment over the next few weeks.....

By now we also have 5 rows of potatoes in.... planned are now to bring out beans and I am hoping to get broad beans this year.....

All in all it is looking good and I am eager for the weather to get warmer so that we can continue our kitchen garden adventure. Watch this space...
