Cabbages...
Parsnips and Onions....
Fennel and Spring Onions...
This is my first succesful attempt at fennel, and i am not sure what i did right this time that i did not do before. Maybe it was the lovely weather we had in May - a distant memory now!
On the other hand my courgettes - which have not failed before are looking like a disaster...
My new blackberry, planted last year should provide some fruit. The gooseberry's next to it were stripped of their crop, as were others on the site. Not sure what happened - but some suspect that they are being sold on the market.
The front, with sweetcorn that has done well, I hope I get a crop from it. This year I tried the 3 bed system of corn, beans and pumpkins. The corn and the pumpkins are doing really well, but my beans are getting rather lost.
A view - with some healthy strawberries. Not so many as in other years, but still enough for the kids to say - "oh no not more strawberries"! and for a few pots of jam to be made.
Lots of weeds are growing, and now it is the summer holidays i wont be up to weed often, but i hope some crops will make it through ok. I also have onions, shallots, garlic, butternut squash, cucumbers, runner beans, swedes, carrots, raspberries, purple sprouting brocoli, and leeks. When i list it like that it sounds most hopeful!
Happy gardening!
