That’s all looking great!
Our crops aren’t doing badly. It’s all in pots though, but I’m hoping to have some raised beds for next year.

I’ve just realised there is no photo of the bramble bush. We’re going to get a bumper crop from that one this year after chopping most of it down last year by accident.

We have a small courtyard garden, so my growing is limited to rosemary and mint in pots in the garden, and basil in a pot on the kitchen windowsill – however we have done the whole veggie/fruit growing thing in previous gardens!

Good stuff – what lovely photos! We have toms, courgettes, squash, beans, lettuce, cucumbers and beetroot here, but no chickens (I wish!). I am envious of your fruit bushes..

We’ve got sweetcorn, tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, pumpkins, beans and various herbs on the go this year.

When we had the flat we couldn’t move for cucumbers on our window ledge. Since we moved to the house I’ve not managed a since cucumber. All my cuc seedlings this year died off so I ended up replacing them with peas as I’ve yet to find a pea that won’t grow no matter where you plant it.

lovely produce in your garden, even if the rubarb is miniscule (vile stuff anyway)… we have a few tomato plants and a cucumber that never seems to get any bigger, next year we will do more.. and by we I mean me.. I just don’t seem to have the heart for much gardening this year…

Nice pics! We have a communal garden with a bunch of oldies so it’s a strictly ‘look don’t touch’ affair

Wow. That’s amazing – so much produce in your garden! I thought we were doing well with a few beetroot and carrots, but you’ve well and truly trumped us with your chickens. Just you wait til I get my beehive!

Actually took pics in garden today myself, of anarchic courgette plants. Do not understand how they are growing so far from original planting area. Oh, hold on, I have kids…
