They do that, Hally! Grow overnight and pop up in front of you in the morning all bright eyed and bushy tailed!!  ;D ;D

Its going to be 46 here today  :P My poor veggie patch is really suffering.  Love the look of all those tomatoes - cant wait until ours start to ripen.  We have loads of green tomatoes on the bushes, and if they survive the heat, they should be a bumper crop.

I normally get around 40 cucumbers & zuchinis, so heres hoping its the start.

Karen, I was worried about mine when we were away, but lots of watering when we got back & all good.

Love the bananas GF, so lucky  ;D

Hally, I am sure there will be more for you soon, they grow so fast  ;D

We had our first tomato today, a tiny little cherry tomato, I did however, share it with DH  ;) :D ;D

When I left for work this morning, DH was picking half-cooked raspberries from our back garden (cooked from being over 40 here yesterday  :P).  They really aren't nice enough to eat fresh, so I left him with some empty jars and a TMX recipe for raspberry and nectarine jam, and he was going to make jam while I was out.  I just LOVE the TMX  ;D ;D ;D

Decided to have a go at the easy Plum Liquor , like you Karen my produce is half cooked also, but they are in the TMX being steamed so see how it tastes when finished.
