With all this beautiful weather we have been having recently the garden has sprung into life. The veg patch is beginning to get some more colour into it now, with plants developing, and pushing through the ground.
The potatoes are now really beginning to bush up. As the plants get bigger we will be piling the earth up around the growing stems to encorage the potatoes to grow. I also pick off all of the flowers are they appear in an attempt to make the plant put all its efforts into growing the potatoes.
As you can see the onions are now getting quite large. I cant wait to start lifting these and cooking with them.
I picked up some brocolli, sprouts and beetroot at a boot fair last sunday. I got 6 of each plant, and all of them came to just £1. They are looking a little sorry for themselves at the moment, but I hope that they perk up.
And finally the broard beans. These plants are looking really healthy and are really beginning to fill out.
