Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

As well as our large veggie garden, this year we set up what we have called our Mediterranean Garden.  In it we have grown tomatoes, ( Apollo), Zuchinni and Zinnias. It is easy to look after as everything is in pots.   However they need watering every day and when it is very hot, twice a day.

That looks very pretty Chookie.

When I got to the nursery they were aerial watering the plants so I didn't linger very long because I couldnt get to the herbs, but at least I have made a start.  Got some sweet basil, 2 x chives, thyme, lobelia, alyssium and violas.  I had meant to get some marigolds as well, but forgot.

Love your Mediterranean garden, Chookie, it looks so inviting to just go and sit out there with a good book and relax.

I bought 3 different colours of Kale.  Parsley,  that I planted 2 different punnets of lettuce.  And got a bit extravagant and bought this pot of lettuce.  I have already picked some leaves to have with the flathead for dinner.

I put it outside the front door.

It looks very healthy Chookie, better than any I’ve tried to grow.  I’ve given up trying to grow veggies,  for me it’s easier to buy them.

We do t grow a lot Judy. We don't really have the room. The dragon fruit had to go near the Beetroot and I had to pull some of the mad oregano out.

I have a Fig tree that needs planting.  It has a small fig on it. 
K Atie, there is a recipe for a fig cake in the Age Good Food section.  Looks lovely.

Vegetable garden needed to turn over a section and plant some spinach,done .
Have an old cement trough so topped it up with some Tomarto compost and planted Italian flat parsley seedlings  in one section and basil seedlings in the other . They are near the two strawberry pots that seem to have one or two strawberries at a time . Never do they make it to the house . Watered them in and hope for the best .
