Time for an update on the Green Stuff . . .
The greenhouses have both been planted up now - here we have the main greenhouse, replete with plum and beefsteak tomatoes, cucumbers and some very small aubergine plants (hopefully they'll pick up over the next few weeks).
The small greenhouse (as well as the vine) has the cherry tomatoes and a few more aubergines . . .
Progress in the main veg plot has been mixed - the potatoes are on their way up, but the courgettes and butternut squash haven't really come on much - fed them today so hoping for better things to come.
Also planted up some green beans, a week or so ago, hoping they'll get going soon too . . . (decided against peas this year after last year's less than impressive harvest).
The onions (and stray potatoes leftover from last year!) are doing ok in the smaller veg plot, and there are some leeks to plant out in due course as well.
Finally we have the broad beans, which are doing very nicely thank you, despite a bit of a battering from the strong winds.
A bit of sunshine and we should also have our first strawberries sometime very soon!
