I've been busy watering and deadheading the roses
in the garden.
We had such a wet spring that we have a lot of black spot on the roses.
I pick off the spotted leaves which is a lot of work.
Roses are high maintenance!
They are my favourite flower.
Our weather has warmed up nicely and we are enjoying the sunshine.
My husband has been busy starting veggies from seed and potting out the plants.
He's growing 5 zucchini plants
which means that we will be inundated with a bumper crop!
We will harvest these when they are small and tender.
Inside the greenhouse we are growing peppers and lettuce and cherry tomatoes.
Out in the raised beds there are English Peas, broad beans, radicchio, and turnips.
Pots of tomatoes are lined up beside the greenhouse...
once they are ready for picking
I'll be roasting them in olive oil and garlic for the freezer.
They add such a lot of flavour to the homemade pasta sauces we enjoy throughout the year.
Have you planted a veggie garden this year?
With the cost of food rising so quickly
it makes sense that we add a few plants in our home gardens.
Are you a gardener?
Have you noticed the spike in food prices?
Apparently it is the highest surge since the 1970's
