Grow my own vegetables

I bought a Pimento de Padrón plant in the summer, it looked kinda sad and hopeless and it was being sold for just 50p to get rid of it so I rescued it!



I've been looking after it since, and it's finally produced some flowers.



The flowers are meant to fall off leaving the fruit to grow but I don't think my plant has pollinated itself to do that as the flowers are dropping with part of the stem.



I think I need to learn how to pollinate the flowers so I get my peppers!

Got huge tomato plants going on - lovely! 03/08/15

Potatoes and strawberries!!

Planted some green onions and lettuce... they are just starting to sprout cute little green leaves now :D

Grew some tomatoes and chillis in 2014 but feels a bit of a cheat as started with the plants. From seed next year...

I planted 2 tomato plants, 2 red bell pepper plants, and some chocolate mint!

Cucumbers on the balcony!

Chillies

We have recently been given an allotment, so let the veg growing commence.

However it is fairly large and we have been clearing it and putting in raised beds, so veg might not be grown until later this year.

Plus weather in England is pretty funky at the best of times.

Have planted peas, beans, tomatoes, brocolli, spring onions and radish with cubs. 17/04/12

for one summer.
