What a difference a month makes.

Back in April I decided that instead of growing a few chillies, tomatoes and courgettes in pots I would make myself a little vegetable patch up a corner in the garden. I hadn't realised at that point that I'd be unable to tend it for weeks during what appears to have been a very vigorous period of growth. In four weeks my peas have grown from this:

To this: I'm not sure that the photos give a true picture, the tallest pea plant is now nearly 7 foot tall! (The back of the seed packet said they grew to 70 cm!!!!)

So I now have sugar snap peas:

Tomatoes:

Courgettes:









The poor carrots, beetroots, potatoes, chillies, leeks and sweetcorn have yet to produce anything worth a photo, but fingers crossed by the Autumn they too will have done their bit for healthy eating. I'm not sure they could officially be called organic (if you compost non-organic food is the compost also non-organic?) but the fact is that other than home-made compost, there has been nothing else used on them.
