More work






Leeks - planted the second set of leeks out, they're pretty small, as are the first lot. Looking around the site, there are some pretty large ones which are full leeks, as well as some smaller efven than ours.
Cherokees - yields are very good at the mo, even though plants look spindly, Runners are pretty disappointing yields and Borlottos look to be doing ok. Picked some Yin Yangs that have dried out.
Squash doing well - the first ones look done but we're leaving them on the vine for now.
Cucumbers good, although pollinating them in the ghouse is a bit tricky.
Tomatoes yielding very well.
Carrots later ones looking a bit eaten (carrot fly?) , beetroots doing well, several out recently.
Courgettes look to be tailing off.
Picked a Parsnip as a test - small but good. Several have a speckled pattern on the leaves.
Cabbages look like they're doing ok but a bit eaten maybe.
Some Pink Fir Apples in store were a bit squishy, but the rest look ok.
Weeded around the Spinach which is still very small but alive.Late French Beans look ok although germination was a little spotty. The various other things sown of late (radishes? Pak Choi? Not sure what else) failed.
Peas have been very strong, but are coming to an end it looks.
