So, end of May. The weeds are growing like there’s no tomorrow, but there are definite signs of progress. Our onions, planted in the dying days of last autumn, are almost ready to pick.

Meanwhile, the carrots, (Adam is quite obsessed about his carrots, or rather the lack of carrots which didn’t grow last year) have germinated. Or at least the ones grown by seed – Nantes, I think. The seed strip we bought with impregnanted carrot seed has not, so far, shown much sign of progress.

Most of the broadbeans failed to survive the winter, but those that did are just about ready to pick. I also got a small crop of gooseberries for cooking. Sadly, however, the potatos don’t seem happy. Not blight, Idon’t think, but maybe some overambitious earthing up has deprived them of something important as the first earlies seem to be dying off and the second earlies haven’t really flourished. I dug up one plant, and found four measly potatoes. Not good.
