I’ve survived my birthday and made it to 34! I even managed to make some crisps from my heritage potatoes, don’t they look stunning. When are you going to start growing some @colwithfarm ? 🥔🥔

Nice little handful of mixed tomatoes to end the day. Don’t forget to keep pinching out those side shoots and removing the lower leaves to help ripen those fruits👍🍅

Don’t be afraid to buy veg plants! You haven’t let yourself down and don’t listen to anyone who thinks that’s cheating. I mean technically you’re cheating with the first bit but after that it’s all down to you! On a larger scale the man hours that go into sowing, watering and caring for seedlings can be costly and therefore it’s actually cheaper to buy in trays of young veg like these lettuce I planted this week👍🥦🥬

Bare earth in July! The ground has really caused a lot of bother and plenty of stunted growth this year but it’s not the end of the world. Anyway don’t worry it should be filled up in a few weeks when some more kale arrives. I’ve also chucked a few lettuce and I’ll sow some beets as well.🥬🥦

It’s important to keep your bush trimmed in the summer!!! Cucumber leaves should be removed from the lower sections of the plants, similar to how you would on tomatoes as they become diseased and old. This allows for plenty of airflow and light to get around the bottom of the plants and it makes it easier to keep an eye on any rot forming on the main stem! You don’t have to lie on them afterwards but it was quite comfy!😆🥒🥒

A punnet of Purple Cascade! Lots of beans but they are fairly flat and I really prefer a round frenchy I’m afraid. Colour is spot on though! Not one for next year!👍

Some of the saddest looking courgettes I’ve grown. Hard ground, hard weeds and low nutrient levels. Slowly weeding and feeding everything should help for this year until I get some compost mulch over the whole place!🤞

The Black Knight! It’s a F1 hybrid sweet pepper that I’ve grown for a few years now. It’s got a great colour raw and does become green when cooked though.🌶

Every garden should have nasturtiums! Not only are they a rather pretty flower but the whole plant is edible adding a peppery taste to any dish. They also provide a great distraction for cabbage white butterflies as they flock to lay their eggs on the leaves, leaving your prized cabbages alone🤞🦋🐛

Another of my favourite climbers and something that can be grown successfully outdoors as well as indoors. The cucamelon is an acquired taste as the citrus flavour can taste too bitter to some people. They do look rather good in a gin or a salad!👍
