Courgettes

Planted 10 seeds, transferred 5 cuttings, 1 given to the slugs so I'm left with 4 plants which are now starting to flower and fruit.

I predict an avalanche of courgettes in a few weeks time!

Broad beans coming along nicely

These from those started in the house and planted as cuttings.  The ones started straight in the ground are not so far behind

Strawberries - harvest begins

Elisa's plot being prepared - some of the harvest - straight to breakfast

Runner bean canes

Took the chance to put up some runner bean canes while I had someone to help pick the canes, cut the string and hold the canes while I tied them.

Strawberry bed number 3

Recruited some help over Easter and planted the new strawberry plants in the first raised bed.  All of these were taken as runners from the other beds. Eventual plan in to dig up one of the older beds.

Elisa decides to name each plant so we can see which one does the best.

More broad beans

Planted a couple of rows of broad bean seeds directly into the soil.  See how they get on compared to the seedlings I planted earlier.

Mas Padron

Spotted some Padron pepper seeds in a garden centre in Wrexham so thought I would have another go.

Determined to get more than a few off this year.  Only 10 seeds in the packet though!
