Shoots and leaves...

The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.

This year the garden is in quite good shape...  wfh has it upsides. No commute. So after work I am a short stroll from the garden and the polytunnel. That helps with keeping the weeds down and picking the fruit and veg when it's at its best. And, of course, I was here to water every day during the hot, dry spell in June. 
Here's a quick list of what's in the veg garden:
Potatoes - Timo and Annabelle
Carrots - Early Nantes
Leeks - early and late, always do well
Onions - red, yellow and shallots
Peas
Beans - broad beans (ready to pick); runner beans (I had to sow three times before they germinated) and French beans (a disaster this year, I have re-sown but they will be very late)
Asparagus - we had a lot of nice fat spears
Lettuce - can't remember the variety (round ones)
Beetroot (had to re-sow)
Parsnips 
Kale 
Courgettes
Then flat-leaf parsley, Moroccan mint, dill, sage, thyme, French sorrel, chives, lavender, and rucola (under the net curtains in the pic  - the first sowing was devoured by pests)
Strawberries (rather a lot of them this year - polka)
Blueberries
Rhubarb
And in the polytunnel:
Winter squash - uchiki kuri, butternut, musquée de Provence etc etc
Watermelon - worth a try
Cucamelons 
Cucumbers  - Saladin (we have had a lot already)
Tomatoes - various, off to a good start but now stalled
Peppers - slow start
Aubergines - in flower
And... I'm trying to sprout some ginger! Patience required.
