Garden update

Do you like this story?

We have grass, vegetables and half a path.

We’ve had a good crop of radishes and lettuces. Have sown more but left it too late to ensure a constant supply – we’ll be better prepared for next year when we have a greenhouse.

We’re aware of the issues surrounding the environmental impact of concrete… we’ll just have to ‘do our bit’ elsewhere.

Vicky’s broad beans are happy – there are a fair few pods on there. I was a bit over-eager and took a pod off a bit too early, so we’ll have to wait a few more weeks before we get to eat them.

The peas are doing great – there have been a few bees buzzing around which was nice to see – so fingers crossed for a good harvest.

The potatoes are being odd. They are new potatoes (first earlies) but they haven’t flowered yet. A relative’s have flowered and gone but ours are still lurking. We’re hoping we just have a different variety. If there’s as much going on under the soil as there is on top then we’re going to have enough potatoes to supply a shop.
