Cabbages and more cabbages

The radish seeds that I planted a couple of weeks are all starting to sprout so will need to be thinned out in a week or so. The spring onions I planted next to them however have not come up at all so I planted some cabbages (Ormskirk Late) which should really be planted last month, but were the only thing I had to hand. Some more cabbages (tundra) went into a seed tray in the back garden so at least if the lot on the plot die off like all the other seeds have, I may get a crop at home.

The fruit bushes (black and red currants) at the end of the plot have done really well and are covered in berries.



There are enough for severally ice-cream laden puddings of these which I'll be tucking into over the next week or so.

The garlic has died off now so I've dug one bed of it out and laid the bulbs out to dry in the sun (forecast for the whole of the next week). When I've removed the weeds from the bed, I'll pop some turnips in there to keep me in soupy staples over winter.

The tomato plants sourced by the ever resourceful Louise are coming on really well and bulking up ready to supply me with copious quantities of chutney ingredients over the summer.

Finally, the French beans that were hit by weedkiller are recovering a little and have been joined by some peas from the coldframe which I hope do better than last years harvest.
