We have not been making a whole lot of progress with the garden or allotment lately. The potatoes are all coming up - although I didn't plant them deeply enough and they keep literally coming up and have to be replanted!
On Saturday we went up to the allotment and planted out a whole bed of broad beans (for it is getting a bit late for Broad beans) and half a bed of peas. I have lots more peas to plant.
The tomatoes I broadcast sowed in the greenhouse have, to my surprise, germinated. There are a couple of gaps, but I've got some seeds underway in the greenhouse back at the house.
The soya beans are flatly refusing to germinate. So while we were in Salisbury I called at the Wilton Garden Centre and bought a new packet. I also bought two Cape Gooseberry seedlings for the greenhouse that doesn't have tomatoes in it!
Otherwise - everything is looking somewhat overgrown. We must find time to get out and sort things out!
Oh - and my sweet potato root now has lots of shoots on it
