Tempus Fugits – when you’re having fun!

I have a massive list of things to post but have not had time because we have been using every spare minute to dig, plant and harvest (no, not harvesting yet - just checking you are paying attention!)

The plot is almost "finished", if there is ever such a time.  We have dug all of the sections which we are planning to use immediately and broken up the lumps, sieving some of the soil which if we continue as we are will produce enough stones to build a small mountain!

To keep a record of what’s gone in – as much for my benefit as yours – here is an update

Runner beans – on the tunnel and wigwam

Broad beans – plants and seeds

Peas - not up yet just of couple of shoots starting to show

Potatoes – both our sets and those found around the patch from last year

Parsnip seeds (not up yet – but then I only planted them two days ago!)

Broccoli

Butternut squash

Courgettes

Patty pan courgettes

Strawberries

Raspberries

Jostaberries

Currant (miscellaneous type!)

Gooseberries – probably a write-off this year as they seem to have been stripped of leaves by a passing caterpillar

Rhubarb

Asparagus

Onion sets – many varieties, all of which seem to be doing well

Garlic

Sweet corn

Leeks

Lettuce – various forms including pak choi

Carrots

Radishes

Spring onions

A mint plant

Ruby chard

Celery

I also have seeds growing for

Brussels sprouts – rather too many for comfort

Cauliflowers

Cabbages red and white

Assorted herbs

And in the greenhouse

Tomatoes, aubergines, chillies/peppers, cucumber and watermelons - yes, watermelons!

Swede, celeriac and more herbs still to go in

There may be some more but I think we have most vegetables in the known world – if you can think of any more please leave a comment and we will kick ourselves and get to planting!

Oh forgot, horseradish and mint plants which are determined to come up whatever we do!
