Wee tastes of success at last.

One day I'll have the time to use this!

Took a while and four thousand trips to the water cistern, but things are finally looking like vegetables.  It even rained for ten minutes this morning!

 Very neat, but where's the food?

 Food just coming along now... broads are promising a bumper harvest.

 Sunflowers that are meant for salad greens, but I thought I'd try them for chicken feed.

 Buckwheat for chickens just peeking out of the rock-hard clay.

 Spuds looking very good indeed.  We've been eating them for about 3 weeks now.  
Such a relief to get them right!

 Tomatoes coming on a month earlier than last year - that'll be the heatwave.

 Bonsai okra flowering.

 Winter stuff holding out in the sunshine.

 Soft fruit!  Look!  No caterpillar ravages!

Garlic batch no.1 harvested and drying in the hangar. 

...and a mystery polytunnel inhabitant with no legs that's on the peppers and aubergines.  Not spider mite, not broad mite (too big).  No idea!
