With all that success I can see another chunk of that patio disappearing...
Well done looks great...bet the crops will taste even better....

[Husker]

Very nice Hollie. You're plot looks great, so clean and healthy and growing fast. Way to go!

[Hollie the Wollie]

So my husband was like a child with a pet... he wanted the veg patch, and at first, yes, he helped with it... now it's been left up to me!

Unfortunately... and foolishly, he threw away all the seed packets so I don't know what variety anything is. He has said today that the Carrots were a "rainbow" mix of white, yellow and orange ones... which sounds great, and makes sense as I pulled one up this morning that was white!!! I just had a bit now with my salad... yumm!

[Hollie the Wollie]

Woo Hoo! My Toms are finally getting flowers on. They are so tall aswell!!! I can believe they how small they were just a month or so ago!

Thanks! I sure did make them! Nearly all of them have broken off their sticks so I must get some stronger glue I think!

Hollie, I am very impressed by what you have created from nearly nothing and look at your garden, you should feel very proud of yourself. Cheers

[Hollie the Wollie]

Thanks so much Jack! Ive been out there again today and have pulled up the last of the early carrots and sown some new ones in some of the other gaps, Autumn King!

I have taken another picture of what it looks like today. The pumpkins are taking over!

Well done everything looks well!

Those labels are something else !!

They are lovely, from the states per chance??

I base this observation on the Radish label and the fact that your mother is from there!

BTW; Peas are nice on a plate as well

Oh thanks for your compliments... no actually, I made the little signs myself!

[Tee Gee]

=no actually, I made the little signs myself!

oops! my mistake!!

I am just awaiting the next question;.........how did you do that?

You could make a bob or two on ebay with those!

[Jack]

Hollie, you and Mr Hollie have really inspired me to make my little gabbage patch work for my family, Thank you. Cheers

Aww thanks! Well I bought these little 3"x2" wooden shapes and big ice lolly sticks (admittidly I got it all in the states but you can get it here too) and then painted them and added the words. Some of my spelling was a bit off.

I just did a swap with someone on here some spinach seeds for a little sign!

Oh really!? Thats fantastic! Im really pleased. We were complete novices, maybe we still are, but we've had our own veg and some strawberries all summer so far and are starting to think about next year already!

[Hollie the Wollie]

Here's my onions! I'm not sure when I need to pull them up, I don't think yet!

[Hollie the Wollie]

Just an update on the veg patch:
