Purple peppers!

Those spuds look great. Also the colour of the peppers is stunning.

More tomatoes! Cherry tomatoes are Philaminas. The pear shaped ones are Sprites. The small round ones are Rote Murmels and the biggest one I have no idea.

Edit.

4 buckets of potatoes and one with red cabbage and 3 stalks of Brussel Sprouts.

The Foolkiller garden is killing it!

A handful of pomegranate about tennis ball size. I’m not sure when to harvest them so I’ll have to research that.

The mulberry bush, on the other hand, is rather disappointing and produces a few fruits per week, but the birds usually get those. I’m not keen on mulberry anyway.

My first tomato is finally changing colors.

I think Tomato’s could be on the cards next year. We eat a lot of them and it makes sense to grow our own.

I also want to get some blackberry and raspberry plants on the go but over arch trellis if we can. We’ll see. 👍🏻

Yellow Courgettes, or Zucchinis. We have a decent sized one every week.

Look at my Rote Murmel! LOOK AT IT!

A good 2 kilo's. Still have 3 buckets of plants getting ready for harvest. And with my tomatoes I've easily got my investment back. I produced so many tomatoes that I had to give them away 2 times a week.

Next year, depending in the weather, will probably be even better as I now understand how to properly let a tomato plant grow.

18 apples from the tree. Some still not quite ready. Really impressed by a tree in a pot.

I've ordered Jimmy Red Corn for the next season, my sister and I might have a crack at brewing our own bourbon.

The Vitelotte potatoes yield isn't exactly stellar. A bit of a shame.

Still will make some lovely food I’m sure.

These are great to turn into chips/fries. Just keep the skin on for maximum taste.

My Jerusalem Artichokes. Almost 3 kilo out of 5 small roots.

 

[Omnis]

3 kilos ferments to, what, around 6 kilotons of butt bomb?

Artichoke beer!

Brew it!

4 Hungarian Sweet Wax peppers and 4 sweet snack peppers getting ready.

 

[Dennisch]

2x3 sweet snack peppers

2x Jalapenos

Lila Luzi pepper on the left, Yellow Chili on the right, both from last year.

Hungarian sweet peppers on the left, Wild Corn (Teosinte) on the right.

In the back left yellow Rose and another Wild Corn.
In the front more Hungarian Sweet peppers

In the back Sunflower, 3x2 snack cucumber and a Turkish Turban pumpkin.

In the front another 4 Sunflowers.

Tomatoes are on their way and the potatoes are ready to go into the ground.

I'll have 2x3 Philamina tomatoes, 1x3 Dave's Crazy Cherry tomatoes and 1x3 Delra River Yellow tomatoes.

And I think 11x6 potatoes.
