Coming Along Nicely.

I went up in the week to the plot as you know and also checked on all the other produce. They all seem to be doing OK, with the broad beans needing picking as you can see below:

Also the cabbage is growing well and the hearts look very tasty. I suppose I should take the nets off, but there hasn’t been time and they do no harm to the cabbage.

The dwarf beans are not the original ones (well, one is), they never came up. So I grew them on at home in pots before planting out, That way I could guarantee they would beat the slugs initial onslaught under the ground.

The parsnips are coming on in places. They are a bit patchy this year due to the weather, but at least they appear to be growing still. This is the best one, but the smallest is quite small.

The spinach has just kept on growing and we have had quite a bit off it. It seems to like it there. Rich in vitamins, it is particularly good to have with vitamin C as it releases all the goodness in spinach. So, plenty more salads, pies and so on.

I was hoping to get to the plot this weekend, but the rain has meant that I have to do the jobs round the house that I have put off and would rather not do. It’s so much more rewarding to be out in the garden or on the plot.

I wonder if we will get a summer this year?
