Vegies update.

 I have some really exciting news!!

My tomato plants had flowers on them and I thought that was exciting enough but before I knew it they had tomatoes growing on them!!!!! I am so excited!

They are still small but it wont be long now.

Here they are up close. So excited!!

The leaves on my plants have gone a bit brown on the edges. At first I thought it was a bug but I think I may have watered them with seaweed solution on a hot day and it has burnt the leaves. I have to be more careful to only water the stems and soil. Avoid the leaves. Hopefully it will fix it's self in a few weeks.

This is my plant I separated into it's own pot. I'm not sure if my memory is bad but I swear it was half that size this morning!! We had mixed weather and lot's of rain and now a beautiful sunny day and it's shot up!!

My beans are proving to be a challenge. They have a big beautiful butter beans on one plant but now the plant has turned yellow!! It does not look happy. This happened last time they had beans on them.

 During the week I looked on the leaves and found a mark like something was tunneling insde the leaf and today I found my enemy! Spider-mites!!! Nooo!!! I hate you spider-mites!! I had them last year and they were so hard to get rid of.

I've just treated them with white oil and crossed my fingers today is not too hot to have sprayed. Hopefully that will fix them.

 Growing vegies is expensive. Does anyone have a cheaper solution? Most solutions in the shops are around $10 a packet/can. I hate using chemicals on them because then I'm scared to eat them but I don't know what else I can do...... Persist,..... I will. 

I originally wanted to grow vegies to spend less money and to know where they have come from but I'm starting to wonder if it's financially worth it when you are feeding one! 

Hopefully when I work out how to grow the vegies well I will see the benefits.
