October in the patch

The patch at the moment:


Zucchinis and cucumbers are in- Lebanese & Black Jack Zucchini in the ground and Lebanese cucumber in the bathtub garden complete with trellis and snow peas which were thrown in a few weeks ago as an after thought and now flowering and producing well- How can i pull them out?

In the ground patch, some green mignonette lettuce ready for picking, a nasturtium teepee, lavender and parsley at the back. And notice the fence is now halved for better access! (Thanks to my lovely other half/handy man)











Compost tomatoes going well, New bought seedlings= 2 bushman tomato plants & 1 patio prize. Tiny tim seedlings are getting their second set of true leaves in their punnets and am thinking I will plant these in water saving hanging pots tomorrow. We also have a san marzano tomato plant (not pictured) which looks to have early blight and has been removed from the rest, the beauty of growing tomatoes in pots! Will be getting some copper fungicide spray tomorrow as i am really not wanting to loose the rest of them, some who already look to have a few spots/effected leaves from being in contact. Also various capsicum/chilli/pepper plants in pots on the left in below image





Succulents are having baby's, first fruits from the compost tomatoes, sage is flowering, and the brussel sprouts finally are looking like they are forming!
