Growth spurt!!!

Well, everything's been growing really well since the rain/sun combination of the last few weeks:


Turnips (slightly nibble by slugs):

I've now planted out some of my purple plum Tomatoes:
Some Burgess Buttercup Squash plants:


The Japanese Bunching Onions are coming along nicely:


But the Red Baron Onions are looking a bit feeble. I think the slugs have had a couple. It's a good job I've got loads more to plant out:


Radishes:



My King Edward Potatoes are now huge and have some flower buds on them (the picture doen't actually show just how big they are, and needs rotating, but hey-ho!):



Telephone peas, which in the two days since I've taken this pic, now have flowers on them, yay! Again, the picture doesn't really show just how huge they've gotten!!



A new addition, I've got a fig tree!!




The only cucumber plant that I got from my seeds (I stupidly water-logged the rest, this was the only one which survived!!):





Another new addition, a Blueberry Bush:



So now I've got a full weekend off and it's going to be lovely apparently, so i'm going to fix the shed (the roofing felt came off in the wind) and get some much-needed weeding done. I'm also going to do a bit more planting/sowing so will update soon with what I've done.

  1. Everything looks to be growing well. I've noticed today that I've got the first flowers on my peas too.
