Beginners luck I think! Becoming obsessed with my potatoes though.
They look very healthy.

Yes you are doing well, wife pulled up Beetroot for me to bottle. Only 2 jars but better than nothing.

It's winter here this Saturday, carnations are still flowering. Unbelievable. Lemons are ripening. Picked one a few weeks ago, more ready now. Chillies still being picked.

Lovely!
Growing veggies, however few is always a thrill. I have grown sweet potato, some dill and potatoes. The first time I grew sweet potatoes I was blown away by the pretty leaves. As I read about them, I realized they are also used as an ornamental plant by some.

Good for you! Having a garden is a good distraction from everyday problems. It also provides a lot of satisfaction when you get to eat something you grew yourself.
Obviously gardening in North Texas is a wee bit different from gardening in Wales. But one thing you will learn over time is what grows easily in your garden, and what doesn't. My own philosophy is if a certain plant requires me to work too hard, it isn't fun anymore, so I don't grow it again. I grow mostly peppers and herbs. They are pretty easy to grow where I live.
So, enjoy your garden! Don't let it become "work."

Organic, homegrown so am hoping it makes lots of lovely meals for him.

I expect stuff like that in the next 3 or 4 months. Good stuff.
