A look at the garden

Well it should be summer but at the moment it is thunderstorming and pouring with rain...grrr...makes growing anything a slow process!!!

However the cooler plants in the garden (ie baby spinach and beans) are doing very well....i thought i would post some pics of my garden as a whole so you can see just how small it is :)


The backyard...very very small


The side yard...even smaller

My 2 new banana plants are going very well and sprouting new leaves! I also bought a strawberry quava however the blossoms it has on it are dropping off. Probably due to transplant shock.

Oh and to give you a pic of some of the pickings, this is what i collected the other day


The beans are obviously beans, but the greeny brown tomatos are 'black russians', the yellow cherry ones are 'beams yellow', the red ones are 'tomatoberrys' and the pink ones are 'pink pearls' :)
They all taste amazing and are so sweet, when you eat homegrown tomatoes you really struggle to go back to the crap from the supermarket...sigh
