Frogs, Cherries and Potatoes :)

Apologies for the delays in between blogs, I'm struggling with SPD and can't be as active in the garden as I'd like. Wonderhubby is doing most of the work keeping it going, I just potter out once or twice a week to have a look and cut some salad leaves, hehe

In photo news this week..

My cherry tree looks like it's trying to fruit in it's first year :D

My potato plants are turning into triffids...just how tall do these things get? Abi likes pointing at them ;)

My first radish, I scrubbed it and ate it. It was nommy.

This is a yellow radish from a Marshalls seed trial. They seem to have battled the slugs admirably and I have a whole row that is about ready to harvest as and when I have a radish craving ;) The radish is on the right, the two other rows are beetroot.

Last night while clearing some old wood to put in the council compost bin we disturbed two little frogs. I hope they didn't go too far, they're welcome to stay and carry on eating our slugs.

Our overwintered habanero is fruiting beautifully already. Chilli at the weekend I think :)

These are the three (very slow growing) habanero seedlings. We've popped one in the greenhouse this morning to see if we can get it to get a move on.

The red chillis that we popped in a planter on our bedroom windowsill seem to be growing really well though :)
