Veg in the Garden Early August






We are harvesting courgettes on a daily basis, herbs of course, I've also had some success with planting some chive seeds from the flowers this spring, they are just coming up, I can get them nice and strong and plant them out in the autumn so they will be well established for next spring. I've seen a fair number of white butterflies and the brassica leaves were starting to look a bit holey, but then we noticed dozens of hover flies eating all the eggs. There's a squash coming on nicely as are the corn plants and cucumbers. There were 3 ripe tomotoes, they lasted about minute from picking, Leon had one, I had one and I gave one to tob. They were very sweet :)
