Here Comes The Summer

 

Broad beans flowering, runner beans planted, salads setting off.
Brassicas putting on a spurt, onions and carrots on the go.

It won't be long before the garlic is ready for harvesting.  The potatoes have been mounded.


One crop currently in full flower: blackberries. The bees are loving it.


The blueberries flowered earlier but are fruiting up nicely.  

After a cold miserable spring we seem to have flipped to a hot dry summer at the end of May. Whoopee!

  1. Great somg choice!
    And so good to see al the progress. You have A LOT of salad in the top photo and your rows don't seem to have been affected by slugs. How have you managed that?

    1. Oh rest assured they are coming. I am not thinning until the plants get established to allow for 'natural' thinning. In a crisis I do resort to the "Organic Approved" (ferric phosphate) slug pellets.

  2. Sounds like we are living in parallel universes.

    1. Parallel - Indeed, except I only have one plot (and the school garden, and wildflower meadow and home garden) to tend to.
