Back from my holidays, and back to my garden.
Fist early potatoes bags and tubs earthed up. But more to plant, going to put them in the ground.
Carrots and spring onions just starting to show through in the Polly tunnel.
Tomatoes planted into the final position in the poly tunel, and one already has a flower
Image
Image
Strawberries in ploy tunnel also have flowers
Image
I think it may be too warm for the brassicas, they are looking very "leggy" any advice would be appreciated
Image
Lettuce looking good
Image
More planting to be done today.
And finally, an egg in the compost heap
