Home grown vegies

I like having a vegie patch again. So far, we've got; rosemary, thyme, parsley, garlic, grape tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, beetroot, rhubarb, sweet corn, spring onion, leek, peas, pumpkin & zucchini.

First off, some itty bitty caterpillars tried to eat the broccoli, but the natural pest control of picking them off and asking them to leave nicely seems to have worked.



The grape tomato plant (which was a present from the people from whom we bought the house) has spawned into a giant ravenous beast, and is producing crops so fast we can't eat them.



I thought the carrots would die really quickly, but with the protective shade of the tomato, it seems to be doing really well. And tasty.



And finally, these aren't from the garden - they were tucked in the back of the potato drawer. Seriously - like a metre long. Each. Freaky.
