How Does Your Garden Grow!? - Garden Pics Thread

gsxr1

here is my years attempt.

Lots of lettice. pot with parsnips , Carrots, spinach parsley and rocket.

I also have runner beans growing and peas that are just starting to emerge from the ground.

the high winds last week distroyed half of my lettice.
Big green pots have carrots , 1 month apart. large clay pot is the spinach. leavy pot at rear is parsnips. and the rest have a selection of space saving and Italian style lettice. Lots of colour


peas


french beans and runner beans

As has been suggested in the suggestions thread, here's the great big thread of garden pics.

Post images of your garden, gardens you've seen and thought were cool etc.

Dr Galen

which have been a total bitch to get going. been plenty of flowers but no fruits. had them in the mini greenhouse as i thought it might not have been hot enough for them. didn't work. so i took them out and sat them on the patio, just in case it was a pollination thing. either way I've got 3 deffo fruits now and what looks to be another half dozen in the making.

as you can see a bit of slug damage to some leaves, which happened while i was doing seriously long days in work and vigilance had dropped. back on slug patrol now nightly and seem to have one the battle

Dr Galen

again with a bit of damage, but this evening will tidy them right up. The plants are well established to be hinest so I'm not concerned. Pretty heavy fruiting, so the few that are going a bit manky aren't a worry either because I'm getting more than enough perfect ones.

Dr Galen

and finally the fruit(s) of my pepper based labours. Have had one so far, but unfortunatley the slugs got to doing what they do and it's munched. this little baby though is getting all my attention. If I only get one pepper I'll be a happy man. Saying that though, as with the aubergines, I think I'm on the verge of a pepper explosion

Nice garden Planet X! well done!

At least your aubergines are coming along Mystic, my half foot plants arnt doing so good. Got attacked by pests!

Been working on this for about 2 months now. Twas a right mess beforehand. Will post the original state pics when I get my USB stick back.

Planet X

Is there any chance these will ripen given the "No sunshine Summer" we're having again?

mp22

Am going to let this one grow for a while more just to see how big it can get

Dr Galen

i'm finding it very slow as well MP22. Wanna go halfers on a huge big mother of an artificial light. As bright as the sun??


* I think I'll sticky this thread for a little while until everyone cops that it's here. It was one of the things sugested by you guys recently, but it dropped off the front page and then got a bit forgotten about. If it gets popular, sure then we can unsticky it again

Just discovered this site - hope you do not mind me dropping in - love gardening. All above wonderful. Has anyone grown containerised small tomatoes outdoors this year ? We have been really lucky with a super crop so far.

Planet X

Some naughty Carrots?...........

Dr Galen

ah man, all that work and you get bonky carrots. Useful for a soup though. Mine have turned out perfect I have to say. Spent ages getting my beds ready. Not a stone to be seen. You hadn't manured beforehand had you?

Planet X

I got a great crop. They're a few I thought were funnily shaped in the above picture.





This is my second load, ready to be blanched and frozen,

Hi, welcome to the Gardening forum
I grow Tumbler tomatoes in pots every year - this is a really good year for them. All we need now is some sunshine to really ripen them off.

Planet X your carrots cracked me up. I have some late ones in now and I hope to get some 'interesting' ones like yours :pac:

Ours is a new garden and I have my first veggie bed, it's going to take a lot of climbing plants to cover all the walls though :rolleyes:

Aw no - "a weed" --- a weed is a flower in the wrong place.
