Down at the bottom of the garden, among the birds and the bees...
...there's a lot of dried out peas, because the silly temperatures whilst we were away killed them! Nevermind, I shall save them for seeds for next year.
The garden did go a bit bananas whilst we were on holiday and I'm sure it was twice the size when we came back. I love growing my own veg, not because I revel in escaping into my 'Good Life' life, although that is part of it, more I find growing veg wonderfully aesthetically pleasing. A lawn is so boring by comparison. We pulled up a few of the carrots, a turnip and picked a courgette which I gently cooked in some butter for a couple of minutes. Beautifully sweet and tender, it tasted like summer on a plate.
Anyway, the garden was so beautiful in the afternoon sunshine I had to take some photos and share them. I'm mulling over the idea of doing some baking today. I really shouldn't because I'm trying to lose weight, but I've got some gooseberries in the fridge that really are crying out to be baked.

Your vegetable garden is amazing! I only have a few herbs on my windowsil (I don't have a garden though). The courgette looks lovely, makes me want to go buy one now. Do you grow any fruit as well?
Thank you! I have got some fruit this year- strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Nothing abundant as that photo shows all of the garden pretty much and I've run out of room. I really need more land.
I love your pictures!Your vegetables look delicious. I just found your blog and have signed up to follow it. I will be checking it often.
That's a great looking garden for sure! There's nothing like fresh veggies straight from the garden! I'm new here and will enjoy following! Great blog!
