Vege garden mid December

Normally at this time of year the summer vege garden would be fully planted out, not this summer.
So far all I have is tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, beans, corn, watermelon, and it's only a few of each plant, not lots like I normally have.

First up is the Mortgage Lifter tomato.

At this point there aren't any little tomatoes forming, but plenty of flowers.

Mortgage Lifter flowers which I saw Blue Banded Bees buzzing around earlier.

A few tiny little baby watermelon are forming.

this variety are Sugar Baby.

So far I only have bush beans planted, hoping to get some tall growing 

bean seeds in soon. A few tender beans have already been eaten and enjoyed.

Normally I have a big area of corn planted out, but it is just a small block

at this stage. Will plant some more seeds soon so as to hopefully

have a continuous crop.

There may not be much corn growing, but it is healthy looking!

A new variety of cucumber that I can't remember the name of.

When I remember I will add it in here.

Pomegranates are growing.

There are about half a dozen on the small shrub.

I have no idea what happened to the grapevine this year,

but there is only one little lonely bunch of grapes growing.

I think the vine needs a good feed and I also didn't get it pruned during winter.

Only one zucchini plant this year!!

No zucchinis as yet, but hopefully not too much longer.

So sad the blueberries have just about finished.

I have enjoyed picking a few and eating each day.

I am thinking about buying a different variety that will fruit after

these ones have finished, to prolong the harvest.

There is a gorgeous perfume that gently wafts over you while in the vege garden

from the jasmine that is planted on the fence as you enter the vege garden.

Such a gorgeous summer scent.

These recently arrived in the mail. I really don't know if they will work, but

definitely interested to find out. I hate snakes and they take away the enjoyment

of being outside in the garden during the summer months. This year seems to be

a particularly bad year for them and as we had a small one inside the house back

in March, I'm willing to give these a go and hope they do keep them right away

from the house. Will need to buy more if they do work. Has anyone had any luck

with using them?
