What's growing in my backyard?
I have a lot of green vegetables growing because it's now Autumn. I was planing on germinating all of my plants for the garden but I left it too late. I was lucky enough to visit Mitre 10 three weeks before lockdown. When I went back a few days before lockdown there were no veggie plants left!
I've collated some photos using Befunky and have added catpions underneath my photos.
I can't wait to wee what's Growing in Your Backyard!

| I love the lemon flowers at this time of year. On a fine day you can still may see a large Queen Bombus terrestris visiting to pollinate the flowers. I have some wee viola's that have self-seeded... |

| It's not time to grow potatoes but these 'wild' ones will dye off once the frosts come. I need to remove them because they're in the onion patch! I get a lot of 'wild' Borage growing everywhere! |
 |
| Most of my veggie bins are now held together with metal bracing because of the earthquakes. I put cracked eggshells around my cabbages to stop slugs and snails. |

| These lettuces are now ready to plant in the garden... |

| To the left is a very large Rhubarb plant and I don't usually see strawberries flowing in Autumn... |

| I grew a potato once that looked like a body part! I love growing tomatoes the best. Some of my ancestors used to have a tomato farm in Guernsey, Channel Islands. |
Hello Elizabeth, that is one weird shaped potato! how did it grow like that?! I see you are growing lots and lots of fruit and vegetables. Yum! we are growing white strawberry's! I know it's so weird, i think a bird dropped a seed or something! Anyway your blog post is so cool. from,

Thanks for your comment Charlotte. That's the second time I've dug a potato out of my garden that looked liked this. One year I grew around 28 KG of tomatoes and the heaviest one was 680 grams. That was the best year ever for tomato growing! That is very interesting that you are growing white strawberries. I wonder what they'll taste like. Elizabeth K
