Have had some really warm dry days but back to rain the last two days. Still it had got to the point where we need a bit of rain. If nothing else it will make the weeds grow even quicker.
Pleased to have recieved some decent goji berry plants and after a couple of weeks in a pot I have planted the most vigorous one out on the lottie picture below. The other two I will keep in pots for the time being.
The carrots continue to grow well and as you can see from the picture below the ones started in pots and then planted out will not be to long before I can start taking a few thinnings.

Peas are now well in flower and one row has a few pods formed so they are only going to be a few weeks now before we can start picking. The ones in the centre of the picture are feltham first and just in the fore ground you can see a row of kelvedon wonder. In the background is the three bean frames which are all planted up now. There are three varieties of french climbing and three of runner bean. Am also growing a couple varieties of dwarf french.

Have two beds of brassicas growing at the moment, in the one closest is greyhound cabbage. some early sprouts. Some perpetual spinach and some courgettes. In the far bed are hispi cabbage, two varieties of red cabbage, a summer solid type cabbage, summer PSB and some ironman broccoli. The fleece is over the cabbages mainly to try and keep the pests off.

Greenhouse veg are going great guns although reading the forum I could have been just a shade earlier with the peppers and aubergines. The picture below is one of the baskets of tumbling tom, I have both red and yellow this year. Three baskets of red two of yellow. They are just starting to flower, so not to long before tomatoes. Cucumbers planted out on the lottie and a couple in the greenhouse. Tomatillo are just flowering. Achocha have been planted out on the lottie and are about two foot high.

Third tub of potatoes have been harvested, result below. Enough there for two good meals and well worth the effort, will definitly increase the number of tubs next year. Will now have to wait a few weeks before any other potatoes are going to be ready. Want to make sure that next year I have a more appropriate potato for early growing.

Al in all this is, so far, a very successful growing year with less than usual fatalities. Have had at most half a dozen plants dampen off, have had one row of swiss chard go to seed which we had for tea tonight. Onion sets are not doing as well as the seed sown onions so will do more seed sowing next year. Shallots not doing to good in that they haven't split at all well, with some still as a single bulb, and most of them have thrown up a seed stalk which means that they wont keep.
