They do that, Hally! Grow overnight and pop up in front of you in the morning all bright eyed and bushy tailed!!

Its going to be 46 here today  My poor veggie patch is really suffering.  Love the look of all those tomatoes - cant wait until ours start to ripen.  We have loads of green tomatoes on the bushes, and if they survive the heat, they should be a bumper crop.

I normally get around 40 cucumbers & zuchinis, so heres hoping its the start.

Karen, I was worried about mine when we were away, but lots of watering when we got back & all good.

Love the bananas GF, so lucky 

Hally, I am sure there will be more for you soon, they grow so fast 

We had our first tomato today, a tiny little cherry tomato, I did however, share it with DH

Thanks Marie... An absolute surprise-that's for sure!!

The first veg/fruit etc is always exciting I think!! Very special to share such a little treasure!!

[Halex]

Yes cucumber gone, but I spotted 2 more to pick & a zuchini nearly ready

Love it

Judy and Cookie-  I've ordered a couple of banana bags from Greenharvest... Thank you both again!!

Good to hear GF, next picture will be of some nice yellow bananas.

When I left for work this morning, DH was picking half-cooked raspberries from our back garden (cooked from being over 40 here yesterday  ).  They really aren't nice enough to eat fresh, so I left him with some empty jars and a TMX recipe for raspberry and nectarine jam, and he was going to make jam while I was out.  I just LOVE the TMX

Decided to have a go at the easy Plum Liquor , like you Karen my produce is half cooked also, but they are in the TMX being steamed so see how it tastes when finished.
