Latest Polytunnel Veggie Pictures.

 I took some photos of what's growing in the polytunnel at the moment:

Potatoes 🥔 nearly ready to flower.

Runner beans.  I sowed far too many.  So I will sell some of them at a carboot sale for ten bob each or 50 Cents if you have the Euro like most European countries have.




Above cabbages grown in mini digger tracks raised beds.  We ate some last week and it was very good.


Onions 🌰.  Is there a vegetable family you can not give enough praise for?  Alliums are brilliant and be it my Japanese winter onions onions,  leeks, or  spring or summer onions.  I can not praise  them enough.

I will write and post a blog about what's  going on outside in the veg plot next time.👍

    1. Hi Linda. I have no idea when you plant vegetables where you live. I believe they plant potatoes in August in Portugal. I look forward to seeing photos of your and K's vegetables on your blog.

  7. I am a big fan of leeks but for successful growing my top vegetables are runner beans and courgettes.

  8. Potato and leek soup is a favourite in winter YP. I like the runner beans flowers. Very attractive. Swedes are another winter harvested plant we like.

  9. Runner beans are my favourite, when planning our new beds, it was the first thing I sorted. Love tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries and peas if they produce a harvest.

    1. This is my first year growing runner beans Marlene. I like their flowers. Tomato plants are very slow growing this year. They need lots of sun.
