I harvested my first corn cobs tonight. Yummy. Tomatoes doing well just waiting for them to ripen. Thyme growing well too Kale grew really well Pansy died through lack of water, whoops forgot to water it. Lettuce - grew well yum Oregano - somehow that died possible lack of water. Coriander - found I hate the stuff so ripped it out. Red onion - grew well used it in homemade burgers yum Bok Choy - grew like crazy and then ran up to seed while I was on holiday. Sweet pea - grew really well and smells lovely. Got all purple colour and the stalks are rather short so wondering if it the dwarf version. Yellow Bean - Grew but not well. Did get some pods which I left on the the plant to get seed. Purple tansy - grew like a weed Beetroot - Grew well yum. Silverbeet - grew well and then the chickens found it and I was left with stalks. Did get a couple of feeds off it before the chickens. Fails - Butternut pumpkin still growing but maybe not enough water and not many flowers. cucumbers still growing and pouring the water on in the hope that we get some cucumbers but they are suffering in the heat.

I did grow some last year and some grew well and others failed. Think I did fairly well this year considering we are in a drought situation here so water use is restricted. When the tank runs dry that is it until another tanker load arrives. Certainly helped reduce my seed buying costs.
