HOW DOES YOUR GARDEN GROW!!!

I can't believe how fast my garden is growing, every time I go out to look there seems to be lots more leaves on the lettuces. In fact everything is growing well, there are flower buds on one of the tomato plants and the courgette even the strawberries are starting to turn red, so I'm going to have to cover them or the birds will get them before we even have a chance to get a taste.




I have decided to get into tomatoes in a big way and have multiple seedlings on the go. I am expecting some seed in the mail that I want to have a go at, a white, green and a peach tomato which even has a slight fuzz on it.



I thought if I have a go at different tomatoes this year I can just concentrate on the ones with good production and flavour next season, but obviously I'm growing some just for the novelty factor, can you imagine relish or tomato soup make with white tomatoes.......just would not be the same.



So hopefully if they all do well I'll have lots for the soup and chutneys I want to make as well as a good amount to give away
