Beaut Vegies grown by our plot holders

 This is a collection of photos taken from late summer until the start of spring.  I think its most fitting to celebrate how clever our gardeners are at producing food over the colder months of the year.

Johns perfect May veggies

A close up of the glossy health of the lettuces above

Portuguese Kale Couve tonchuda tried out for the first time by John. He really likes
the flavour and the large cabbage like leaves. (13 Sept 2015) Available from King Seeds.

A great crop of Daikon Radishes in John's plot 13 September 2015

John told me he was very pleased the leeks this year. He planted these out
as seedlings at the size of a pencil in deep holes so that there is a
good length of white leek under the soil. I liked the perfect fan formation taken
on 13 September.

Birthe's perfect Romanesco broccoli on 20 August

Not sure what John is growing here but I think they are Chinese Cabbages. Just love
the volcanic rock wall with the green (these rocks were all dug out of Johns plot but now
do a good job retaining heat and shelter...downside is that its a good place for snails to live)

A perfect looking cabbage August 20 2015

Unsure of the correct name but in the asian vegetable range of bok choy

A Giant Fork silver beet seedling that just arrived in my plot March 2015

A particularly striking sunflower - not as tall as the standard Sunflowers grown
at the gardens

Ramesh's Chillies May 2015

Ramesh's bountiful coriander 16 June 2015

Cavolo Nero (Tuscan Kale) in Ramesh's patch - July 2015

My own pride are the great crop of Florence Fennel bulbs grown
from seed and planted out late summer. This bulb was harvested in June and
I am still harvesting. 

I learn't from Bev that if I just cut the bulbs atroot level then the fennel plant will reshoot  - the resulting bulbs are not so plump but with more off shoots - taken 25 July 2015. It's good to know you can get more than one bulb for the effort taken in growing from seed.
