Harvested Broads, pots, carrots, broccoli and at home courgette.

Checked the runners and I can see a few pods forming so looks like I'll get a crop. The feed obviously did some good.

Only got 4 early potato plants left and told my brother to harvest them all at the weekend. I'm away for a few days and they need eating the slugs are really tearing into them since the rain washed them all onto my plot.
Covered my Savoys as the cabbage whites are laying on them, even though they are still very small.

Cleared some more eggs from the brassicas and a few small caterpillars. Not been too bad although quite alot cabbage white fly. They are established enough now not to worry too much and I'm getting a massive crop from the calabrese. Sprouts are now forming on the stems but only just.





Cucumbers, which I planted in a spare grow bag by the shed, and growing on a trellis I made from canes and build a balls. They look great, about 6-7 inches and will be harvesting the first of them fairly soon.

Broads still cropping well and the choc spot has not affected them at all. Some pods showing the brown but beans are fine.

Main carrots looking really good now, will need to harvest some as earlies to make room for the others to grow. Been eating Early Nantes now for about a month and still loads left.

Kale is starting to grow well, spaced them a little close together but we'll see how they do. Leeks almost ready for planting out and once the pots are gone, I'll stick them in.

Some General pictures below of the plot.
