After three years of moving into our new home, I have neglected the garden plot. Every time I went out, my heart sunk for different reasons and I seemed to have fallen out of love with gardening and growing my own vegetables.
However, this year will be different. I said that last year and the year before, but this time really it will be different as progress has been made. But before I share progress in my garden plot, I am partly writing this post to coincide with Harvest Monday with my offering of overwintering Rainbow Swiss Chard from the garden. I used some of it early in the month for a Black Bean Chile, this however will be used for a quick Indian style vegetable curry. Also by joining in with Harvest Monday, I am hoping my love for growing vegetables will be reignited.

| Various courgettes |
The greenhouse is spilling with seedlings. I have had to halt my seed sowing as there is a lack of space and weather forecast of frost  |
| Ruby Red Chard |
 |
| Kohlrabi |
 |
| Various Tomato Seedlings |
 |
| Peas and Salad Leaves |
If your interested in what I am growing this year, click here to see my list which I will up-date on a fortnightly basis.  |
| Strawberry Patch |
 |
| Flowering Strawberries |
 |
| Raspberry Canes |
The raspberry and gooseberry bushes are lowering, so is the Plum tree (not shown here).
You won't l know it, but here are two lines of potatoes. Next patch of land is clear and ready to welcome the new recruits from courgettes to broad beans and peas. A little more digging here to do to clear the weeds and then this will be ready for brassicas. This is the back of the garden plot. I have dug out the raspberry canes here and put seating there, so we can sit and look down at the garden plot. And finally, this rhubarb is fattening, but I plan to harvest some at the weekend and share it with you for next weeks Harvest Monday which is hosted by Dave over Our Happy Acres
