Late June

The Cabbages I planted at the start of the month are growing really quickly now. I've also now planted out a few more of the various brassicas.


The Leeks have now been planted out from the initial rows they were sown in. Each Leeks is placed in a hole (made with the handle of a rake) and just watered in.


For the past couple of weeks I have been picking absolute bags full of peas! Definitely a good years for peas this year. Podding them all takes forever, but it's worth it. The supply in the freezer will last us quite a while.


The Courgettes are just starting to be ready for picking now. Shown above are the yellow variety I'm growing.


This is the first sign of a Pumpkin starting to take shape. Tiny at the moment, but it's growing quickly already.


The Squash plants are starting to grow quickly too, bulking up and looking very healthy. Some are already showing flowers.


The Tomato plants are all growing well and it's an on-going battle to keep pinching out the side shoots and moving the ties a little higher each week.


Here's a view of the square plot, with the Runner Beans just reaching the tops of their poles.
