My big bed garden, lots of sand and ants, they don't like to share this soil. and 3 tree stumps that I need to work around! For my first year I've got onions, potatoes, cucumber, broccoli, beans, peas, and spinach. No idea how the broccoli will grow but it's loving it so far!

Cucumber, broccoli (in back) Beans and peas, spinach

Tripods I made from birch branches for my peas to climb.

A lively mix of lettuce, peas, dill, tomatoes, nasturtium and cilantro

My brassica's: Broccoli, Cabbage and Brussels! Peas were climbing on the right side but its too hot for them now!

Sweet Peas

Sweet Peas - Can you believe the colors?

The peas are in full blossom with a few pods ripe today

sugar snap peas, some cosmos planted from seed.

zuchinnis, cucs, pumpkins, and perhaps some tops of turnips. Too bad seems the peas have run their course for the year, as has the radish and lettuce.

Long blues.. a newfie favorite here!One of 3 varieties i grew this year, along with green onions, mixed lettuces, cabbage, and turnip. I just extended the garden, with plans of growing broccoli, cauliflour, peas,leek, and asparagus within 3 years.

Here's the Winter planting: pansies, shirley poppies, parsley, onions, oriental poppies, anenomes, delphiniums, foxgloves, chard and sweet peas--not all pictured here.

Even though the veggie garden is small, I am growing in it: beans, corn, pumpkin, tomatoes, snow peas, lettuce and Swiss Chard. There are some large parsely plants going to seed. The seed will be used for the next generation.

Sweat Peas

Peas are doing well ..

Vegetable bed 1 - artichokes, broad beans (not germinated yet), two rows of peas

1962: Sweet-peas behind us kids, later we grew climbing 'granadilla' there very sucessfully aka maracujá. There are 500 species of this passionflower plant, our flowers were blue-pupleish, one of the most beautiful flowers and the fruit still one of my favourite flavours, mmmmm

Every year I plant snow peas, and every year I don't plant enough of them.

2010 Sweetcorn in loo roll middles, peas, broad beans, onions and red Khol Rabi early Spring enjoying an outing from the plastic greenhouse - now gradually going in the ground.

peas will fill in the blank...

Filling the space gradually! Broad beans far left in distance, potatoes (plenty!) Mangetout, sugar snaps and peas on frame, runner beans on canes both ends. Lettuce bed on left.

Peas, peas and more peas!! Lovely!

More seedlings ransacked. Some were spinach and others were peas and beans.

Peas!

...main crop potatoes, peas...and the view down the dale x

2 Ridge cucumber plants (gherkins?) are covering the ground like a pair of giant triffids! The peas are nearly finished boo hoo :( but the sweet peas smell divine. These are supposed to be red spring onions but got a bit large.. still taste wonderful and I chop all the greens into a freezer bag for later use in mashed potato (an Irish thing!)

Peas are nearly over now.. nothing quite like them really and few made it to the pot or freezer.. eaten up the garden by the upright two legged beasts!

Zucchini are great stir fried with snow peas and onions, also got some garlic and mushrooms in with these. I seasoned them with McCormick pepper and lemon seasoning.
