Summer I missed

What am I missing the most due to a summer move of the house? Veggies in the garden. No, really!
I totally love growing veggies. Have been growing them since 4 yrs now and had to give it a miss this year. Last year I didn't have the garden space to grow since it was neatly lawned but that didn't stop me from growing in pots and growbags. Peas in pods - who doesn't love the sweet juicy peas. I bought some podded peas last year after my peas had done harvesting and my son said - these are not sweet like our garden peas.
I thought I should post some pics of the summer last year, our bountiful harvest that we distributed to everyone close. The dress I made is blogged here.
I grew tomato varieties -  gardner's delight,  sungold, ferline, money maker, sun cherry, black cherry, tumbling tom, alicante, golden sunrise, beefsteak  - there will be more that I can't remember.

 She helped pick the tomatoes for dinner everyday. 

 Look at the colours

 Bursting with flavour

All friends got a bag each of tomatoes.

 Have you ever seen a black tomato? No they are not rotten. :)

 They are not perfect but they are mine.

 Beef steak tomatoes. Rasam (Indian dish) made with these were too good.

 Real tomatoes.

 cherries

 Son had a bought a sun flower seed from school. It grew thrice my height. Notice the bee on it.

Peas - I just used the dry seeds that I soak and make curry with. They were perfectly sweet. Well, the kids hardly allowed to plump up, can't blame them - they were irresistibly sweet.
