Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

A typical Ral & Chookie veggie garden - no matter where you go Chookie you sure do make a magnificent produce market for yourselves.

Thanks Judy.  We try to eat something from the veggie garden every day.

What type of beans are the flat ones please Chookie? They look interesting.

The few tomatoes we had growing aren't enjoying the heat much. Even my parsley is turning up its toes. My basil is happy as it is between and under the front roses. We do have another pineapple coming.

Great picking Chookie.  Today at the nursing home I was given Gala apples by one relative visiting and some tomatoes by someone else.  I always appreciate home grown fruit and veg.

Fabulous fresh produce Chookie

It must be interesting watching a pineapple grow Cookie.

I appreciate fresh garden produce from friends too Judy.

This weekend I got the last of my greengage plums, nashi pears, packham pears and some golden delicious applies.  Not all exactly ripe, but I wanted to pick them before the birds got them.

My neighbours gave me tomatoes, basil, capsicums, green beans, zucchini and cucumber so I gave them fruit in return.

A nice swap for you both Marina.

Wow Marina. That is great. We have fruit trees at Invermay but they have not been looked after. Hope next year after pruning and feeding we may get some apricots.
No spray or snail killer on the veggies.
About to pick some rhubarb.

we picked 2 huge bunches of bananas on Sunday, handing them out to friends and customers.

My garden is not going so well now
Still getting lots of capsicums, jalapenos, habaneros etc and tomatoes tho

Astarra, that all sounds very good to me. Do you like chillies?

[Cuilidh]

Astarra, may I ask a question.  My DH loves chillies, whilst he likes the heat he really loves the taste of fresh chilli as well but no one seems able to suggest a chilli that is both tasty and has some heat - every chilli we check out refers to the heat, but none seem to refer to taste.  As you sound like you may be a knowledgeable chilli lover, do you have any suggestions or ideas on what we should look for to keep my man happy?
