My fruits and vegetables are growing nicely, we have hot weather and the climate in the greenhouse is tropical but as long as we keep watering well everything is growing.
THE GRAPES ARE GETTING BIGGER, THEY WILL BECOME DARK BLUE, THERE ARE NOT BIG AND BEAUTIFUL BUNCHES BUT THEY TAST GOOD
AND SO ARE THE TOMATOES
MORE TOMATOES BUT OF ANOTHER KIND
AND THE BELL PEPPERS
AND THE COURGETTES
THE MAGGI PLANT (LEVISTICUM OFFICINALE) IF YOU LIKE TO MAKE YOUR OWN SOUP THIS PLANT IS REALLY THE BEST TO GIVE TASTE TO YOUR SOUP, IT IS A BIG PLANT THOUGH, UP TO 2 METERS.
THESE ARE THE LEAFS OF THE MAGGI PLANT YOU NEED ABOUT A FOOT OF A STEM WITH LEAFS FOR 2 LITRES OF SOUP.
THE SAGE IS THRIVING BETWEEN THE LEAFS OF THE YELLOW COURGETTES
I REALLY NEED TO MAKE SOUP SOON, LOOK AT ALL THE CELERY ! BUT IS IS JUST TOO HOT AT THE MOMENT !
AND I NEVER HAD BIGGER FIGS BEFORE BUT THAT IS COS OF THE HOT WEATHER WE HAVE BEEN HAVING FOR A FEW WEEKS ON END.
How is your veggie garden comming along ?
Thanks for visiting my garden !
Yes we had a late frost in the uk too which has effected the apples sadly.
Im thinking of getting a second Greenhouse especially to grow a vine. We have one outside but the grapes are not always very big.

Oh but grapes don’t have to be big, they have to be tasty, mine are not big either but they taste good, our climate is not good for big grapes or big figs….

No. We only moved to the old house 18 months ago and discovered the vine growing against a lovely sunny wall in September its old for sure…the grapes are green and it has seeds. I have pruned it and moved some other shrubs that were in its light so I’m hoping that this summer it will produce more quality grapes. It had loads last summer but they were all very small so perhaps it had too many but no quality? Does that make sense?

definitely too many grape bunches or too many grapes on one bunch, the grapevine I have looses grapes if there are to many in one bunch but for most grapevine you have to cut grapes out of the bunch to thin it

We have very few peaches and apples growing this year because the storms blew the flowers off .

The fruits are so few I resort to counting the fruits that are growing….. 26 peaches and 3 oranges. That’s about it.

that’s not much ! professional fruitgrowers here in Belgium claim that almost 90 % of the apples and pears are lost due to the weather early in Spring, and now we have a severe draught and more fruit and veg are not doing well…but that is nature
