We have experimented a little with growing some of our own herbs and fruits recently! The herbs are fantastic and have taken off providing us with lots to cook with! The pumpkin....well the flowers were nice but no vegetables! The strawberries, brilliant, lovely red strawberries the birds LOVED them. The tomato plant, got a disease, which it recovered from and a lovely flower appeared, which grew into a fruit......it grew and turned green....alas there it stopped! This is what it grew to before we took pity on it and let the poor plant die....it was I can confirm pretty much on its way out!
However in the garden we also found later last year that we had a peach tree...or so Roshan told us! I have to say we were somewhat sceptical particularly as the green beginnings of peaches arrive in September and yet they only begin to grow and ripen in February......they were a long time coming! Anyway......it is a peach tree and it is in our garden and it produced LOTS of fruit like these (below)!!!! It was all quite exciting for us English!
