Tomatoes in Bed 1 are coming along nicely although the wet weather is worrying me a tad:
There is another bed behind them but they aren't so happy:(
Bed 4 has leeks, 3 carrots and the one surviving tomatillo:
The leeks are progressing nicely after the 'no growth' disaster last year. Only 3 carrots grew from 2 rows of my Mothers Day seeds, not so good. There were 2 tomatillo plants but one has died. It wasn't happy from day 1.
We have had 3 servings so far from our French beans, the runner beans are just starting to produce. A lot of things in the salads bed are going to seed so will resow some more soon.
We have also havested the second proper potato container, another 6lbs to add to the tally. Some so big just one would make enough chips for us both.
My leeks still look like emaciated chives. Carrots - only about 40% of the row has germinated. But very pleased with my potatoes too.... 🥔🥔🥔🥕🥕🥕
ReplyDeleteHad that problem last year, so annoying.
DeleteIt all sounds lovely and highly delicious!

Thanks. Had our first tomato the other day.
DeleteIt's been such a wet year here in Lancashire for the veggies, there's only the cucumber plants that are really enjoying it, everything else is sick of paddling. We just need a couple of weeks of warmth and sunshine, then maybe, just maybe I will have some tomatoes ripen.
ReplyDeleteMine are starting to ripen but some are splitting.
DeleteI am really tempted to get Hubby to try leeks next year. I love leek and potato soup.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
This variety, Musselburgh, can get leek rusk so that’s annoying. Leeks were nearly 90p each last winter, very, very expensive.
DeleteYou might find you have a few new viewers to your War Diary page over the next couple of days again. Someone mentioned you on the 'Living on WWII Rations' Facebook group and I shared your link. Hope that was okay.
ReplyDeleteFine by me, thanks.
