With so much going on in daily life, our vegetable garden has been severely neglected this year. Considering how little time we have spent working in it, I am surprised that anything is thriving. The French Marigolds were grown from genuine seed (from France!) and I'm delighted with their prolific blooming. Hopefully, they have deterred a few bugs!
We arrived home from a day in Halifax on Saturday to discover that the French beans had toppled over, but we salvaged a good crop from the plants when we untangled the mess on Sunday.
The carrots are Parisian Market (do you detect a French theme here?) There were only two, so I'm not sure what happened to the rest of the row.
Spring Onions - my first attempt from seed and swede, which looked much better on the outside, as they were bad inside. I think this is due to the fact that the ground was so very hard, they were growing upwards, rather than down.
Well, that is a mighty fine harvest in spite of neglect, Marie! I love those small variety of carrots! While I've not missed having the big veggie match, I have missed growing something, so hoping next spring to create a container garden system on our terrace and at least grow some herbs, but maybe small veggies too--like radishes, etc.--just for extra fun. So great too see what's growing there! Happy Days, my friend ((HUGS))
