Well my garden has done so well this year. Courgettes are so plentiful I have left some of them to become marrows.
The Cherokee tomatoes have a delicious rich taste and are a favourite with the grandchildren too but I think their favourite is the tiny Tom Thumb tomatoes that have grown into 1 metre high bushes and produced the tiniest little sweet tomatoes I have ever seen.
The climbing butter beans are producing in huge quantities as are the runner beans and purple dwarf beans.
We have had huge strawberries and rainbow coloured silver beet.
Cauliflowers and bell peppers are still producing but we have finished all the lettuce, will plant some cos for winter. Both the Lebanese and traditional cucmbers are also going well. They are climbing up amongst the runner beans and seem to like it. Makes for easier picking and avoids the inevitable white mould on the leaves when they run along the ground in this humid, hot weather.
My chillies are finally flowering so hoping for some before the weather changes. Planted them a little late.
