VEGE PATCH. What's growing in yours?

[thedigger]

My dear wife peas and beans are starting to grow nicely now the weather in improving

The rasberries which we planted last year have come along well.

Do you have problems with shield bugs?. Everyday we get up to 60 of the little shites. They suck the juice out of them, and if not controlled you end up with dry crappy looking raspberrys. C

Is that what you call them,we shake the bushes and then squash them on the tiles,do not seem to effect the fruit.
It is the birds are the real problem,erecting some wire netting systems,would not get one bit fruit,if I did not cover them.

Don't know what to do with the casings, any ideas?

Beans!! this mornings pick 660 gms. But don't you just love it when the garden produces veggies that are expensive instead of being cheap at the supermarket These are fresher than "the fresh food people"and don't cost $9.50 a Kg.

Just harvested 3kg of potatoes for tomorrows lunch. Put these in a bit late so they struggled a bit to produce.

Just scrounged around the edges and left most of the plants in.

When amaranth takes over your corn patch. Zucchini in there as well. Cooked two giant pots of it last night. Got my years worth of greens in one hit.

 

[Wishfull]

The spuds look good. What variety ?
Dug some of mine up on the week end. Kestrels. One went 570 grams. Pitty it wasn't a nugget.

And Merry Christmas to all !

Not sure what they are Wishfull. Some purchased some very expensive potatoes and they were left aside and forgotten about.
I found them and they were sprouting so I decided to plant them.
Usually I use clean seed potato but just went for it this time.

You could paint it gold wishfull ,you never know your luck :lol:

The purple UFO..

Lilac cayenne, they were more of a lilac colour but they are changing, my eyes see purple..

Who ever grew the seeds I bought had a cross pollination problem coz the plants and flowers and chillies are different.
I don't have enough shaded space to separate everything properly...

Royal burgundy beans..

Purple elongated eggplant..

Here is a up date on our raspberry growing,for many years we just grew them in a bit patch along with different kinds of berries,but the berries took over big time,and drowned out the raspberries.
Two years ago we planted the raspberries,only half dozens bushes,and this year they have cropped heavy.
The boxes are 1.2mts x2.4mts

This plate full is what we pick nearly every day at the moment

In the other boxes

Beans,peas,and beet root

Peas to the left,and tomatoes which are coming along nicely.

Great set-up mate. Those Raspberries look fantastic! :Y:
