Harvested some more early carrots, a few broads, beetroot, early spuds and some spinach.
Spinach really suffering now, still bolting like crazy and I'm not really getting a large amount of leaves from it, seriously considering digging it up and putting it down to experience. Could use the row to plant my Kale or some more carrots.
Runner beans flowering away and have reached the top of their 8 foot canes. Will pinch them out later in the week.
Harvested my first broccoli so removed the central stem. Will now wait for lots of spears. Have grown far too many but hey ho.
Put it some beetroot "speedy seeds" as we are using quite a lot of the few I have grown.
Cucumbers now about 3 inch long but growing like boomerangs even though the plants are tied up. Doesn't matter though, they will be nice.
Had my first courgette and got lots more growing. Only got 1 plant as the wife doesn't like them.
Onions very large now, Bedfordshire Champs from memory, another few weeks and they'll be ready for lifting and drying, assuming we ever get some sun.
Not sure what the garlic is up to, will lift one and see next visit.
Poor guy who was 2 feet under water is still 2 feet under water and no signs of it going anywhere. Worse than this it flooded his shed and took the petrol and oil from the rotovator and spread it around his plot. Looks like he may lose the lot, pots already rotted. Feel sorry for him, next time I see him I'll dig him some veg from mine.
