Our allotment

Sometimes my little haven for peace & quiet where I love to grow things I can share with my family & friends.

Better late than never.

Early in the year I wanted homegrown cucumbers, peppers & aubergines. I had them in my little plastic greenhouse for ages but they wouldn't produce any fruit.

Cucumbers

I had 4 cucumber plants growing taller & taller with lots of leaves and fruit wanting to grow but they didn't. Clearing out the greenhouse I just put them at the back of the garden & forgot about them then to my amazement one afternoon there it was a cucumber growing well.



The plant has started growing again and it looks like two more are going to grow. They weather today had been really hot so if it continues they should be fine unless it gets a bit frosty at night.



Aubergine

I grew two aubergine plants again thinking they would like the greenhouse I put them in there but they grew big leaves with no fruit. I didn't get rid of them I left one in a pot which is now in my conservatory and one planted in the garden, both have got fruit and growing.



First picture is in the garden and the dark one in the conservatory, at the moment the garden one is doing better but we will have to see.

Peppers

At last my pepper bushes are producing too . I have three planted at the allotment & one in the little greenhouse.



As they say the best things comes to those who wait but.................who likes waiting!!
