Vegetable garden at Airdeny

With the sunshine of recent months, the garden at Airdeny Chalets has been flourishing.  Rows of leafy vegetables stretch up to embrace the sunlight, the beans are weaving their way up the support canes and the strawberries are enticing the (pesky) voles.  I spent most of Saturday in the garden (is there anything more lovely than a day gardening?) and recently picked my first cucumber, as well as harvesting the first courgettes, brocolli, lettuce, spinach, rocket and a few strawberries.  The first tomatoes should be ready in the next few weeks.

The garden is completely organic and guests at Airdeny can sample the yummy, fresh produce.  The greenhouse is packed with different varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, and courgettes (both pale green and yellow ball), there is an abundance of herbs and the raspberry bushes are getting thick.  I'm growing edamame beans for the first time this year (as well as other beans), ordinary and gold beetroot, and both ordinary and purple varieties of cauliflower, cabbage, brussel sprouts and brocolli.

Why not ask to sample the home-grown vegetables on your next visit?
