Are there any backyard veggie gardeners here?

[Emme]

They all fell off before they developed properly Obbie.  The tree is in a netted area so the birds can't get them. Just hoping just one mulberry will make it this year.  Here's hoping  

[obbie]

have to keep a eye on them next year Marie

we have yellow zucchinis, roma tomatoes, radishes, capsicums, asian greens ready at the moment.

It's fantastic isn't it!   We have loads of silverbeet, beetroot, carrots, snow peas, French beans, lettuces, potatoes and herbs.  Radishes are finished.   I love it.  Have been googling how to freeze snow peas.  Anyone here tried freezing snow peas?

Have broad beans coming out my ears at the moment.  Any ideas for using them up?

July placed a road bean bruschetta recipe which was sooooo yummy. Can't remember what is was called.

Thank you for that ladies, that will help. DH planted some last year and we got only a few.  This year of course he had to plant more, it is either a feast of famine

Just been informed I have a lot of green tomatoes out the back. 
DH also brought in another zucchini from the garden. 
Love growing food!!!

I have picked over 1kg of zucchinis today...not alot compared but made me happy all the same!! Now to feel well enough to use them.

I'm glad I found this thread! We moved to a half acre place late September and our goal over summer is to create a veggie patch. We have the chooks up and running as the chook house was already there but no veggie patch. I visited the local community gardens the other day and it was so inspiring to see all the fresh.produce ready!

I am still getting about 8-9 eggs a day too.

[berringamababe]

I now have 10 tomato plants, 4 zucchini plants, 5 capsicum/chilli plants (in a mix of sizes, colors and varieties),& 8 strawberry plants in the ground, also seeds of watermelon and cucumber. Have been offered pumpkin seedlings from a farmer friend, so have left room in the garden for them and the spring onions which I have not got yet. I have chives and parsley growing in pots too. 
I am happy it is all getting sorted now.

It is so nice to see all that variety.  I am now inundated with squash zucchini and my pumpkins are fruiting. Loving it. Can't wait for the warermelon
