My first ever vegetable garden containing sugar snap peas, cos lettuce, a couple of bean plants, florence fennel, kumi kumi (a summer squash), little gem squash, new rocket (arugula) seedlings, Greek oregano and nastertiums (grown for the seed pods which I pickle)
Here is the wombok, an Asian style green (okay, so I've eaten it all now but here is how it looked)
And the poppies have just started flowering.

gorgeous! Makes me wan to get my garden started. I'll wait till the chance of frost is passed. Usually te end of March or some years, April.
Beautiful poppy Michelle, it seems strange that on the other side of the world people are waiting for it to get warmer so they can plant and here I am waiting for it to be a little cooler ! :-> Last year we had our veg and strawberries cooked before they they were picked (45C plus temps.) So I'm playing on the safe side this year.
Your garden looks super.
Lovely to see your garden. Everything looks really healthy!
Nuts in May
The garden looks good. Just as Olive said, I'm one of those waiting for the warmer weather so I can get sowing. Seeing yours is a lovely inspiration - time to dust off the seed trays
Dear Women that have commented so far - yes, we are all hoping for a seasonal change of some sort.
Dear Joy of the Olive needs South Australia to cool down mightily just for her veg and fruit trees to have a chance, along with their farm animals;
I would like the days to stay warm for longer. And Maggie and Priscilla would relish sunshine often and winter temps to be warmer.
There are ideal veggie and fruit growing weather wotsits somewhere in our World, let us hope they spread (without any nasty climate changes)

Lovely garden - and with such tasty results! Yum!
Sometimes I believe that all my blogging friends are connected to me by other than the internet...we all seem to have the same thoughts at the same time...lovely plants, pal...good job!

Wowza! What a great job you've done Mickle! Everything looks so yummy and gorgeous!
It's snowing here!!!!!
Your mint is looking good Michelle, I haven't pickled nasturtiums seeds for years, apparently you can use the immature buds as well (but then you wouldn't get flowers).
Your garden is looking far more luscious that mine at present. I haven't been giving mine quite enough attention (or water!). Had a good weeding and tidying session on Saturday so it is now looking a bit more like a flourishing garden again.
Lovely! Yummy.
So I'm playing on the safe side this year.
Your garden looks super.
