What a lovely veg garden you have, I love the roof tiles, yes, they do look cute!
Living in a flat I don't have a garden, but I have commandeered some space at my Mom and Dad's house in their garden, and have planted Carrots, Beetroot, Pickling Onions and normal size onions. They are all starting to peek out the ground now, am so excited! My plan is to save money on Christmas gifts this year by pickling the onions and the beetroot, making onion marmalade with the normal size onions, then gooness knows what with the carrots, freeze them, or make carrot cake and freeze that I think. PLenty to give away to people in the winter.
Isn't it exciting growing things?!?!

Yes it really is! Every time a seed comes up, it's like a little miracle! I sowed a long row of beetroot yesterday - my beds are 20' long and 4' wide (so I never have to walk on them!) A friend of mine had a glut of beetroot last year and made chutney which was gorgeous! She gave me a couple of jars and I could eat it straight from the jar with a spoon! So I'm going to get her recipe!
Today, I'm going to sow my courgette, butternut squash, pumpkin and sweetcorn in pots. I'm a bit late with it but better late than never, and we usually have a long, sunny autumn here so things ripen well late in the year.
For your carrots, you could make soup - delicious with coriander! I struggle to grow that for leaves, it just bolts even in the shade!
