Not much happening this week, no time to spend in the garden........ only the odd 5 minutes to water

Courgettes growing well.............. might need to remove a couple of plants

Rhubarb is beginning to revive since they dried out too much.

Tomatoes are still quite small

Next batch of carrots sprouting well.

Peppers getting bigger.......... will have to stake soon

Radishes are up already.

Lettuces are being eaten....... soon be time to replant.

Parsley growing very well............ 10p bargain from Asda.

Bigger tomatoes will also need staking soon.

The celery bottom is beginning to sprout new leaves.

Mint seedlings did not survive the lack of water....... :(

Potatoes have got a good height on them now 

 Broad beans will need staking in the next few weeks. 

 Peas are looking a little weedy.......... planted more seeds so will grow straight in the ground.

 Runner beans now tied to canes.

 Carrots growing well.

Currant bush seems to have taken which one it is though ........ oh well find out when fruits

 Strawberries have got very bushy.

Clematis.......... in the greenhouse but should be in the front garden. ..... but had no time to do it!

Although the peony is surviving quite well in the jungle of the front garden without my help.
