Garden update

With the weather we have been having here, showers and sun spells, the garden has been doing very well. We just need to keep an eye on slugs :(

Our tomatoes are not quite ready yet, but providing we get some decent sunshine soon (I have not given up yet) they should ripen and be perfect with our wild rocket.

Below are our potatoes. We are very tempted to have a look at them, but we are not sure they are ready yet.


Here is an overview of our vegetable patch, which has become quite crowded! We are quite impressed with the broccoli, which we have grown from seeds.

The French beans are looking great too, which is quite surprising because the day after we planted them out, we had very high winds and strong gales, and most of the leaves had been blown away.
Here is the row of wild rocket, which we seem to be eating in any shape and form at the moment!

This courgette will be ready to be picked very soon now, and there are another 4-5 which should follow in the next few days.

We also have some carrots and leeks. We will have to wait quite a while to eat these.

And against the wall of the shed, we have 6 plants of raspberries, which are starting to show their fruits. They should last us until the autumn, which would be nice!
