photos :: fruit & veggies

Our back garden is growing like crazy and we are definitely enjoying eating from it. Here are a few photos of our plants that we are so proud of.

Kale is my current favourite thing that we are growing. It is so delicious.

We have so many tomato plants growing but these little grape tomatoes are my favourite. Also, most of the other tomatoes aren't ready yet.

Our broccoli looks really blue, it's not just the photo. I think it's ready to be picked and eaten but I need to do some checking online/in a book just to be sure. I don't want to ruin our broccoli!

We have a ton of grapes and the vines are kind of going crazy all over the place. Next year we want to build something out of wood that will cover our sitting area and let the grapes grow on that.

We absolutely have more things growing in the garden but that's just a little sample platter of our fruits and veggies. 

Have a great Saturday everyone!

  1. Gosh they all look amazingly delicious. It's really making me crave having a garden, one of the down sides of living in a city centre apartment!

  2. Wow! They look amazing. I am so jealous. I want a garden really bad, but I don't have the time for it! :( I have a little herb & some flowers; which makes me happy.

  3. Everything looks so yummy, Elycia!

    And, those grapes look very good. Are grapes difficult to grow?

    1. They don't seem to be! The grapes were here when we moved in so it is an established plant. It has been here for a really long time actually! We just trimmed them back in the early spring and then left them alone. They are doing really great and there are lots of grapes.

  8. I love seeing all the gardens people have out here! Definitely one of the perks of living in Vineland! I just have a couple pear trees and my herbs, but I hope to do more next year.

  10. Your garden looks amazing! The one bad thing about living in a warehouse loft is not being able to plant a garden. We tried some indoor tomato and pepper plants this year, but we just don't get enough sun from our north facing window. We want to build an indoor greenhouse. Soon, I hope!

    1. An indoor greenhouse would be amazing. We really want to do something like that to have fresh produce all year.

    1. I really need to make some of those! We don't have a working oven but I've been wondering if the toaster oven would do the trick!
