What's currently growing in the herb & vegetable garden?

Part of the herb garden - a quiet spot to sit and contemplate the day...

I recently attended an "open garden" in the suburbs of Johannesburg, where a wonderful herb and vegetable garden was incorporated as part of the "normal" flower garden - i.e. onions, cabbages, artichokes and others growing amidst poppies, nasturtiums, roses and annuals!!! It was truly fascinating as seldom does one come across a wonderful mix of the two, living and growing side by side.... These pictures are of some of the vegetables and fruits that are currently growing.
