Homegrown Veg, Dorking, Surrey
Have a decent sized patio means that we can grow veg and herbs close to the kitchen and do as much as possible to protect them from the wildlife that are intent on chewing their way through anything. Here are 2009’s attempts at a laughably self-sustainable existence!:
This is my first crop of mint leaves, washed and ready for the refrigerator (macro 100mm F2.8 lens). We plan to make some mint ice-cream or perhaps a pair of mojitos.
This year I have bought a proper tomato plant support which will avoid elaborate wiring of the tomato this year. Gone for just one in the grow-bag, next to the aubergine plant. Last year only one of the three tomato varieties consistently provided tomatoes you’d want to consume.
This is our first attempt at growing aubergine, beetroot and courgette , I don’t know what to expect. Anyone else done it?
Progress reports in a few weeks.
