2015 veg so far....

Its been a very good veg year with Courgettes, Beans, Mange tout galore.

Beans (raised in potting shed trf to raised beds)
The first French Beans didn't take, I thought I'd over watered them but actually I think the seed was old. I planted new seed and hey presto got good healthy plants which have just started producing beans a plenty.

Courgettes / Squashes (raised in potting shed trf to raised beds) - One particular plant has been outstanding this year. It came from a kit my sister bought from me (vegetable theatre), a yellow variety. I must have had at least 20 courgettes so far... The others are growing OK and have produced one or two good fruits but still going strong.
Have also tried squashed this year. Managed to buy one from the garden centre with several good fruits already developing. The Butternut Squash is yet to produce but looks healthy.  
 
Carrots - Sown in tub
The first sowing only produced two carrots. Excellent specimens but not exactly a meals worth. 


Ive re sown and now have a good looking, small, crop but not ready to pull yet.

Onions - planted straight into raised bed
Still in the ground. Have pulled a couple. Still quite small but they are usable Onions which is a first for me.

Toms
Hanging basket - has produced some lovely sweet toms, not prolific but still going strong and loads of green fruits which will hopefully ripen.
Growbags - Three plants, two doing well loaded with full trusses of ripening fruit. The other is very stunted and no fruits! Must check the varieties.

Phew that's enough for now but more to report soon.
