Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

I was thinking more of a fire breathing dragon

I have just picked our first Quinces, Ever.  The jar in the photo was made from the peel and cores of quinces and apples,  that a friend gave us. It is delicious.

First ever Quinces.

Chookie- those quinces look wonderful!!  There's a type of bread and butter pudding recipe I posted quite a while ago! I'll see if I can bump it for you if you'd like to try it.. It's just exquisite !  (not Tmx though)

[mcmich]

You are very clever Chookie. GF, would love the quince B&B pudding recipe bumped.

Bumping for this years gardens.... please show me what you have.

I have in tomatoes, zucchini, broccolini, watermelon ATM, still have room to add something else tho not sure what just yet.

we have heaps of stuff coming up now, lots of asian greens too.

Cold climate planting here,   ( very cold today,  has just started to snow).  We don't plant out until after cup day as we can still get frosts. 
Will plant lots of lettuce, Asian greens, broccoli, cabbages.  Some small tomatoes up near house in tubs. Last year,  planted zuchini near house , in tubs.  These were delicious and nothing like bought ones.  Looking forward to summer salads with fresh greens from garden and sour dough croutons .

Sounds great Chookie

( very cold today,  has just started to snow). 

Good day to cuddle up inside in front of the fire.

Not sure about my garden this year.  I've got a fair few green tomato seedlings coming on, none of my chillis sprouted and will probably only put beans in my second garden - because I'm not around my garden during the week most things seem to burn and dehydrate ... don't understand why that is

[Emme]

Quite cold  today as well.  We have broad beans growing nicely and the peas are starting to pod.  Have potatoes and zuchinni, cucumber and tomatoes(under cover).  DH has been fixing up my herb garden and put them up on a stand so I can easily weed them.  It backs onto the pizza oven.

Chookie I had to glance at the date on your post several times. Snow!

We don't grow that much as I don't have the space and we travel. I have to replant most of my herbs as they all went to heaven last year. I have mint, rosemary and parsley left. I'll plant oregano, sage, and thyme. I have chilli plants from last year and baby plants coming up everywhere. The basil is also coming up everywhere.
I still have a few Beetroot to pick and quite a few strawberries.

Snow 
My summer planting is a bit hit and miss, but we've got pumpkins, capi's, eggplant, tomatoes and beetroot in. Still picking leeks. Picked the last of the winter beetroot and made beetroot relish yesterday - yum!
Strawbs are fruiting now, also have garlic, chillis, radish growing madly.
In my herb garden I have thyme, parsley, lemon grass, rosemary, coriander, oregano and marjoram. I need to move the chives as the chooks keep eating them!
Going to plant more capi's and toms and eggplant. Oh and some corn and cucumbers too.

To all you expert gardners out there, it's brown thumb here! My basil and other herbs are being eaten by something. There are white bits and eaten leaves. What is safe to spray on herbs?
