How does your garden grow....

Our plants are doing so well - we had to move some of them indoors because the weather has been so wet, but they are thriving in the
greenhouse-like temperature of the conservatory. Here we have peppers, courgettes, chillies, tomatoes, coriander, aubergine and broad beans. The tomato plants have been brought back from the brink of extinction as the lack of sunlight has really affected them. I don't have much hope for the pepper plant or the aubergines, but there is still hope - they aren't dead at least!!!

Unfortunately I have tried sowing lettuce seeds twice, but each time they are completely decimated by nighttime visitors of the slug variety......The spinach however, was very successful. So successful in fact, that we had a fresh supply for weeks. This is now exhausted (hence no picture) and I have re-sown some more seeds.

All very nice looking! Down in Thanet we've been blessed with lots of blazing sun and my tomatoes are a proper jungle. The spinach beet did well too, and was very tasty, Italian style. Of course, I do marvel at your broad choice and variety!
