Its gonna be a long post – sorry!
The wasps have gone, as Poppy was stung on the mouth – the left side in the pic (emergency visit to the vet). So RIP wasps, but better than RIP Poppy!!
Bed 1 – potatoes at the front, Pentland javelin, the mange tout and sugar snap at the back.
Bed 2 – onions at the front – need pulling soon, then mangetout at the back, runner beans and some Jerusalem Artichoke that I swore blind I had removed!!!
Bed 3 – the 2 sisters approach – sweetcorn and corgettes, with some rhubarb at the back. Have got nasturcians in here too….and good job really….
….as they have been invaded by black fly, so I am using the title ’sacrificial crop’ – they are next to the corgettes, but the corgettes have not got any black fly at all. Its the way it should work (for once!)
Bed 4 – beetroot at the back, with a space for the next crop I am sowing this week, the celariac. Smells NICE!! Nasturcians again…working their blackfly magic!
Bed 5 – lettuce……please….can anyone eat any more lettuce!? I am feeding people at work now! have some dwarf green beans at the back that are slug ravaged and some radish that have just been sown at the front – 1st lot this year – oops!
Bed 6 – have more corgettes, some broad beans and a large rhubarb!
Raspberry bed – Now this is the one I am looking forward to – Glen Ample Raspberrys – 1st season, but a lot of raspberries, so pleased!
My fab greenhouse – with a welcoming pot of lillies on each side!
Tomato shokker – I am in the North, and growing tommys….OUTSIDE!!! Can you imagine saying that last year…or the year before!
and some more….shocker!
Sorry for the long post – nice as a reference for next year, when its not the Sahara outside, but the Ark is floating by…..!
Everything’s looking great! Glad to see that the Nasturtiums are doing their job.
Your sweetcorn looks nice and healthy. Mine were a little grumpy when I planted them out, perhaps from the shock, but they’ve picked up again now.
Poor Poppy. I hope her mouth is better now.
It all looks so amazing! Tidy and organised – there is definitely something missing though – WHERE ARE ALL THE WEEDS??? have you been airbrushing your pictures??
Hey Jo – I am OVER THE MOON with the sweetcorn! Really pleased. Off to the vets in a bit with Poppy, think she is now dehydrated! Being sick every 2 mins, and not drinking any water! Dogs….tsk!
Hello Rachael – I am pleased as punch to say that ours is a WEED FREE ZONE! Dad and I keep on top of them, but it is at the bottom of the garden, so a glass of Chardonnay, and a few minutes, can get a bed weeded in no time! thanks!

Your tomatoes look great – our outdoor ones, in Sussex, are doing okay but not nearly so well as our greenhouse ones. Our peppers are making lots of flowers but no fruit – never grown peppers before so not sure whether this is right or not?
