Thought I'd do a progress blog post tonight.... Didn't think there'd be much to update with the way the weather has been, dry, windy and dryer again.... however....
I HAVE PEA PODS!! woohoo, I have never been able to grow a pea plant that has established and actually flowered let alone pod :D Noticed this morning and it turned my grey morning right around again.
So I thought if I was updating that then I might as well take a few pictures of the other things that are taking shape on the lottie.... here goes....
My flowers that I put in to attract the bees etc are looking pretty now :) I thought my Dad was mad when he mentioned putting plants in that 'I couldn't eat?!!?' hehe...
The bees were out in force this morning too, I caught this one on one of the raspberry canes..bzzzz
The Veg in the mini-greenhouse is shooting off too, it's waiting until June for the last frosts to go before I can get it out, I cant wait!!
My potatoes have shown thier heads, and here's me thinking that there wouldnt be much happening!!
The farmer was nice enough to leave some marure for everyone so that was my first glamourous job this morning!
Cut and come again lettuce, yum yum!
Jessie's patch is shooting up, she'll be over the moon at the weekend when she see's her red sunflower plants.
Jalepeno chilli plants got a bit wind battered so they have been rescued and potted on.
Rhubarb is HUGE! You can see the size of it compared to my spade in the background which is a standard size.
My red/white onions and shallots.
Brussel sprout plants...
Cabbages are awesome!!
Dad's desert is looking good too :)
Yay I have apples on my tree, I dont know which kind yet because this is the first year on the plot, I'm hoping they'll be edible.
I've started to pick my lettuce and take one at a time up for my lunch, I've sown some more so will hopefully have a nice crop all summer round.
Blackcurrants, I've never grown these and I'm not sure when they are ready to harvest...will have to ask my dad....again lol.
Looks like I'm in for some cherry tomatoes soon...
Had to put some netting on some of the brassicas, the wood pidgeons took an interest in the purple cabbages...grrr...
Well, phew, considering I didn't think there was going to be much to update I certainly made the most of this blog post lol.
