My alpine strawberries ( from seed ) guest they will be ready next year :wink:

My peas ( I know more sticks )

My carrots ( need thinning )

My cauliflowers

My potatoes ( maris peers )

As you can see my potatoes took a battering last week from a hail stone meteor shower! :lol: hopefully they will be alright!

All and any comments welcome, so let me know what you think. But be gentle as I have never grown anything before. :wink:

Take care

that's all very neat and tidy Marky!

If I took any pics there'd be bits of pallets in the background, with the occasional carelessly left tool lying around, compost everywhere and almost certainly a chicken in every shot!  :lol:

Looking good; you should be proud of yourself  :D

I am jealous of your peas - mine are just poking through! The ones indoors are like yours though.

Looking good though!
