Things Are Growing in the Veg Plot

Still short on rain here, so the watering that we have done is definitely paying off.

We have dwarf French beans, they are almost magic as they are a beautiful shade of purple when raw, but, that goes and they are green when cooked.

We have the very first, all 2 of them, runner beans.

 I made a salad and realised that all the ingredients were from the garden, (not the balsamic vinegar) lettuce, beetroot, French and runner beans. 

Yum.

 The pumpkins seem to be growing, although a third one does not look like it will make it, what a shame.

 I think this is the first marrow, well at the moment it looks like a marrow, just as the pumpkins look like they will be pumpkins, however, because of the wind all the seedlings got mixed up, so until there is a fruit/veg I have no idea what plant it is, the leaves are remarkably similar and it is just too difficult to tell.

 This is the first sunflower, it is very yellow, rather than traditional golden yellow and the great thing is that it has lots of side shoots so when this flower is over there should be more to follow on. Makes me very happy..
