Vegetables!

Look! Potatoes from the allotment! S0mething GREW! Not just weeds!
And courgettes too! I was so excited I walked into some stinging nettles. Fortunately there are dock leaves close by so I was fine.
David and went to check out the veg today and to do some weeding. The beans are a disaster, but the potatoes, onions, courgettes, broccoli and brussels are all doing well. So are one lot of peas. The weeds, however, are doing best of all. We will go back tomorrow and tackle them again. If the rain stops. (Yes, it rained again.)

courgette? Is there a difference?
Happy Gardening!

Don't you wish everything else grew as well as weeds do? lol The weeds and I are in a ferocious competition...but I think they're winning! lol Glad that some of your veggies are producing well...our veggie garden isn't quite ready yet, it's been a late year for gardening here! xox

Yes, those courgettes are going to be great big marrows by the time you get back... I'm sure you have some friends who will come and pick them for you.

I too have to leave the house immaculate (just in case something awful happens and I never get back - don't want my mum to be shocked by the state of my cupboards...).

Really liked your last post. Quite right.

Your veggies look so yummy--ahh, the fruits of your labors!

I love your idea of waking up to things you are thankful for.

Hope your preparations for this trip go so-smoothly!
