Half a garden update.

Either the blog site or my computer are having issues and after 1/2 an hour and 3 unsuccessful attempts to upload the other 5 photos I had of our garden I have given up!! You will just have to imagine our corn, sunflowers, tomato, carrots and zucchini growing beautifully!!! Above you will see our lettuce is looking great and will be ready to start eating soon, just needs a bit more growth in the 'heart'.

Our pumpkin started flowering about a week and a half ago which is very exciting!
These are some of my herbs. The parsley is doing great. The basil and mint have only just started actually growing well but seem to be catching up. (my oregano which is not in the photo has only just started actually sprouting again after I tripped over the pot and spilt it all over the place, oops!!)



This pot and the one below are our 'festival of flowers' and have come up with lots of variety. There is way too much in both pots but I couldn't separate them cause they were all a bit entangled so they'll just have to cope. The pot that looks empty in the middle of the flower pots is my chives, there are quite a few growing in there but you can't really see them in the photo.




I might try tonight to upload the rest of our garden pics and see if I have better luck!

These pics look great! I have no trouble imagining the rest of your garden. I have to do it all the time....Imagine I have a garden that is :-(

If you grow migonette lettuce you don't need to pull them [hence fewer lettuce, more space for something else]; just pick enough outside leaves for your salad & leave the rest to grow on. If it gets terribly hot they will run to seed though. Only drawback. Lack of time means my garden is smaller these days & I choose things that gives us the best return for investment: beans, silverbeet, tomatoes, cucumber, celery. Pumpkin if it self sows & isn't rampaging over everything else.

Your garden is lovely & I'm quite envious.;P Time; it all comes down to time.

It all looks wonderful. I will have to take some pics of my garden at the moment as it is also growing nicely right now (before the summer heat!)

I tried a couple more times to upload the rest of the photos but it never worked so I shall not bother until the next update when hopefully we actually have some veggies growing and not just the flowers!!

Ganeida hello, always nice to see new faces :-)
