Perhaps a little warmer last week and things began to grow. The nasturtiums are in flower, these bright red ones are self sown from last year, the other are more orangey in colour. The flowers taste hot and peppery in a salad.
Flowers also on the patty pan squash, you can see a little squash in there too. The courgettes got a bit bigger but the fruit are still too small to be worth picking.
My canes have a good covering of raspberries, I hope to get a good crop of them this year.
My main job was clearing away the first broad beans, they had finished cropping and were a bit of a mess having been buffeted around in the gales. This frees up a bit of important space for cabbages, tomatoes and perhaps I'll get those leeks in the ground?
Digging out the bean roots I found a few potatoes. This was last years potato patch and they must have grown form spuds left in the ground. A few were skewered with the spade but I took the others home and ate them.
The french beans are topping out so I snipped off their growing tips, they're also just beginning to flower.
