What's going on in your garden (2024)?

Come mess about in my garden SNSSO.

I hope this year coming up my plants are as productive as yours appear to be.

Done with this mint family *thing* trying to get into my garlic bed. It's my fault since I used grass clippings and found out after the fact that pieces of this will make new plants..

I made the mistake of planting mint once…it’s a menace. It took me about three years to fully eradicate it.

I'm going to plant some since I like it fresh in tea but it's going in a raised box.

I got a lot of it growing.
I don't use it much but it smells amazing when the dogs run through it

In true raspberry addiction style, Christmas morning meant raspberry picking (and a few green beans).

I'm about to pick beans.
Nothing else is ready at the moment

Just picked another 350g of raspberries from the garden. Hubby was heartbroken that we had to freeze them. He bought some yesterday and they'll only keep a day or two.

Seems like my mushrooms are not taking a holiday period between growth phases!

We'll have more mushrooms in a couple of days.

About 300g of our favourite raspberries (a variety called tulameen) for tomorrow's breakfast.

The other variety have finished so I've cut them back hard to help them. They were then watered.

The space in the back right is where they normally grow. I've cut them back to about 10 canes. They grow off the previous season's growth, so those 10 canes plus any more that grow, will die back shortly for the heat of summer, then be shoots will grow in all of those canes (about 10 or so per cane) and flower, fruit and the whole cycle start again by the end of autumn.

As you can see one of my butternut squashes has started to take over. It has climbed the bean frame and is now hanging off the shading cloth coming towards me along the inside of the roof of the veg plot!
