A mixed bag here. And I touch wood as I type
The tender stuff is struggling, tomatoes and aubergines wind blown and looking sorry for themselves. COurgettes on the plot are struggling but alive although the ones I planted in big pots on my south facing patio are taking off as well as the squash and pumpkins.
The beetroot and carrots have been slow to germinate and are tiny and the peas are not good.
A few strawberries but a lot have rot and those that we pick are not as sweet as usual, obviously need the sun, like the rest of us.
The potatoes in theground look good, but not holding out too much hope for the ones in bags as they have not been topped up as they should have been because of the rotten weather, time availability and having to prioritise.
Garlic has dreadful rust, some of the overwintering onions rotted and those that didn't are not as big as last year but at least we have some.
Kailan, cabbage, calabrese looks OK.
Beans are starting up the canes.
Celeriac is looking good.
first year for parsnips and they seem to be doing very well.
Harvesting good broad beans.
Have some lettuce coming on but a lot have succumbed to slugs and snails, where we missed with the pellets.
The gardeners prayer is heard at our plot a lot.
And we are in the never give up camp. I am far too stubborn, although it is getting a bit demoralising at the moment.
