Its been a while since I last updated my blog, so I thought I'd better at least put up some photos to record this years progress.
I had several longish breaks in progress on the plots this year, unavoidable..... but never the less several things failed and some crops are later than I would normally have liked.
Thankfully in recent weeks the warm and reasonably wet weather have helped to get things  nearly back on track.
The addition of an extra greenhouse, obtained from free cycle, will allow for a larger crop of tomatoes this year.
I'm growing four varieties of Toms, Shirley F1, Ailsa craig, Golden sunrise and Milla

I've also sown more Parsnips, sprouts and planted more Potatoes and Onion sets this year.

Parsnips, I had
an excellent germination rate, they can be tricky!
