Broad Beans – nearly ready!

I think I got a little overexcited! I saw the broad beans were fattening up nicely so decided to begin the harvest.. Luckily I opened the first one picked to have a look how they were: erm…tiny"!

Maybe with a bit off feeding in the next week they’ll be ready fairly soonish: I’m not sure I can wait that long!

Summer veg. planting

 

I’ve just received my new vegetable plants, all ready to go in.

Now all I need is an unrainy day to plant them all out! Well, and to weed the veg patches first and add the compost. I’ve decided this year to add lots of compost to the courgette bed as they didn’t do brilliantly least year.

From front to back I’ve got Beetroot, Courgette, Celery, Sweetcorn and Leeks.

I’ve also realised that the beetroot need splitting as they grow in order to get decent sized globes – last year I hadn’t realised that each ‘plant’ was actually a cluster until it was too late! Oh well, you live and learn.

Come on sun – I dare you!
