Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

Great gerden dede. You have done so well.
I picked 5 zucchinis today totalling 1.496kg in weight  And I also found a ripe cherry tomato that somehow just jumped into my mouth...   and more tomatoes ripening! Yay! 
Plums are starting to ripen too - shhh don't tell the girls! 

My biggest zuchinni weighed over 1.25kgs . No zuchinnis now had iver 40 from my crop

DH & I Just dug up most of the patch, mint took over & strangled other herbs. A lot had died. Will buy more today & do some planting in the evening

It's tomato season but this one is a bit on the nosey side! Boys say it looks like an angry bird

I've been picking my zucchini and they are really good.  I cant lay claim to the amazing ox heart tomatoes, they are from my FIL

Inspired by this thread,  I spent 2 hours in the veggie garden.  It is very dry ,  but made cleaning up easy.  Have been picking beans from large pots.  Tomatoes not doing much.  Love DD's raised beds.

Our tomatoes are not ripening at the moment, hope they won't be long.  Have just started on the corn, zucchini are finishing up (thank goodness) prune plums are ripening and made a little blackcurrant jam yesterday.

My partner is the gardener. I just do the harvesting! My kale plants all recently got obliterated by caterpillars a couple of weeks ago. How do you guys deal with caterpillars and still stay "organic"? I miss my green smoothies!

Beetroot and carrots and silverbeet slowing down, beans finished (froze a lot too).  Been freezing rhubarb and making chutney with it. Tomatoes are more than we are eating at the moment so shall start freezing those as well.  Pulled up the last 6 potato plants - 10.2 kilos of potatoes tons of spring onions. we were late putting in cucumber but they are all fruiting now just need to get bigger. Capsicums and eggplant and chili starting to fruit and have planted some more snow peas, beans, broccoli and brocoletti.   Parsnips starting to get  bigger.  Love our veg patch and its such a good hobby.   Late with zuchinni too. Don't know if it will amount to anything.    Saw a very attractive pumpkin plot yesterday.  We have a couple of plants but not doing anything exciting.

Planted cucumbers, basil, thai basil, parsley, capsicums & that was it.

Very hot here, the next planting will be around Anzac day when its cooler & I will be able to plant a lot more.

Still picking chillis, capsicums, rosemary, basil, oregano, sage in abundance this year, thyme, spring onions, chives & garlic chives. Normally have a lot more but been away a lot & things died or went to seed.

We lost almost everything that was in my veggie patch with the big storm we had.
 spending time just cleaning up and hope to get some things replanted next week 

[chrissa]

Oh dear - what a shame Rosie.

My morning harvest any one in Bunbury what to swap for some replacement punnet of seedlings

[achookwoman]

BB,  what a great crop.  We are only getting enough for 1 meal a day.   Our Mantra is to eat something from the garden every day.  Sometimes this is is a sprig of parsley or herbs.

great crops.
