Fruits of my Labour

I spent a few weeks away over the holiday period and when I returned my garden looked like a jungle. This was partly due to a friend diligently watering while I was away and the absence of our cat. He was on holiday with us and therefore wasn’t able to disturb the plants.

I spent several hours pruning and tying up my tomatoes and here is a pic of the first ones to be picked, Heirloom Black Cherry Tomato.



The silverbeet had bolted away so strongly that it had gone to seed (the cows over the fence really enjoyed it) and the courgettes had become marrows but that’s what happens in summer; things change quickly in the garden.I’ve put in more mini Brassica’s because I still haven’t seen any white butterflies and I will keep adding lettuces, radishes and beetroot every couple of weeks.

And finally, this is what the garden looked like before I tackled it in the weekend.



Happy gardening.
