The vegie garden

We are clearing the lower vegie garden to install a tank this winter. The bean screen is almost finished with the scarlet runners cut off and just a few purple kings providing odd nibbles.
However the end garden now has strong tomato plants producing a lot of fruit, as well as carrots ready to pull, spring onions, and garlic.

Behind the house, the broad beans, leeks, ruby chard seedlings, rocket, and peas are all going well. We made a pea screen yesterday.
I also have a circle of strawberries around the septic. There is some competition with kangaroo paws and paper daisies - to be resolved.
I also have some chillies and capsicums in the corner bed, where they have done well in previous years.
