All 4 bags of potatoes are growing well, rain has helped them

 (even tough there are only three pictured)

Peas are beginning to find their way of holding the netting.

 Broad beans have settled in well too!

 Runner beans will need to be tied to the supports soon!

Troughs are going to hang on the fence to give extra space............ not sure what they are going to hold yet.

 Carrots are now planted out into their pot, next lot ready to be sown.

Water feature base getting a rough planting........... need to work out what size pump to use.... think i am going with solar one save any wiring issues.

 Apple blossom not quite as plentiful as the pear tree

 One of the 3 bags of potatoes planted, all 3 are beginning to show shoots

 Corrugate potato planter doing well 

Busy weekend, the final side of the first raised bed was screwed into place. The second planter was built and put into place, pictures to follow, but heavy lightening storm stopped play, the rain I could cope with but not the hail stones. Runner beans planted out hope they won't suffer from the temperature difference between the greenhouse and outside.

Pallet raised beds are nearly finished.

 In time the soil level will raise, when the growing bags are finished and need emptying and the cinder blocks will be moved out, to be used in different projects.
