My fruit and veg progress!
It’s been a while since I have updated you about my tomatoes, chillis and peppers so I thought today I would share with you their progress. I have to say, growing these fruit and vegetables from scratch has been one of the most rewarding things I have done. There is something so satisfying about nuturing something very small and watching it grow and produce things you can eat! It’s also a comfort to know exactly where they have come from and how they’ve been looked after. As you can see, my beefeater tomatoes are coming on extremely well. They are getting quite heavy now and I’ve had to give some of them extra support with additional stakes!
The Scotch Bonnet peppers (below) are starting to pop up everywhere on their plant. These little ones haven’t got much longer before they’ll be ready to pick!
The red pepper below has been the only pepper on this plant for some time and then when I was watering the plant yesterday I noticed at least 7 smaller peppers starting to appear from their flowers. So I’m very pleased I will be getting some more of these. 
Finally, my other tomatoes are coming on brilliantly. I have two of these plants and there are dozens of tomatoes, all of varying sizes, on both f them. I am enjoying watching their growth and am hoping it won’t be too much longer until they start to turn red!
Have any of you been growing your own fruit and veg? Is it your first time? This is my first attempt, and I have had them outside ever since the last frost in May. I was a little aprehensive about whether or not I would be successful with growing my own food but if you just take time to water and care for them daily it’s very easy to do! If you haven’t yet and are thinking about it I would definitely give it a go next growing time!
