Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
Today I picked carrots, beetroot, garlic, cucumbers, tomatoes, courgettes and potatoes (Annabella) and took a pretty pic of the whole lot and then my phone froze and I lost the photos :angry: But we had a nice meal this evening with dips (tzatziki and a cajun style spicy dip) and raw veggies. I'm not completely happy with the carrots, they tasted a bit "dry" - not woody, but they lacked the juicy sweetness that home-grown carrots should have when they are at their best.
The vegetable garden is doing well but it needs watering nearly every day as we are in the middle of a heatwave and a drought (the Finnish call it "helle"), at least the weeds aren't as rampant as they were.
