Nigel Gnome grows a vegetable: A whole new year, 2019

And a warm new year it is, supposedly it is going to be 29C today. The tomatoes are all happy and now gently starting to show some colour, I have removed the lowest ones (the black birds peck into them when they can reach them) and they are ripening in the dark in the garden shed.They seem to continue getting redder even faster in there than on the plant. Beans need picking every second day and there are so many that we have to give bags of them to whoever turns up. The fine thin dwarf bush ones are the nicest (Mrs Fotheringill's dwarf bean banjo). The rock melon plants are beginning to creep up their trellis. There are still lovely potatoes (maris anchor) to harvest, they do really well for boiling, roasting and in chunks in the BBQ amongst sausages or chicken pieces. We will definitely grow them again!
The plum tree is starting to sag under the weight of the fruit, it will soon be time to make sauces again.
