What are you growing

 This veg bed is doing great my broad beans are full of flowers, I only lost a couple of plants, so I am expecting a good harvest, at the other end root veg and 3 lettuce. I did not remove the net covering for these photo's.

In this bed I have onions, which are growing, I'm thinking they are a slow growing crop, so I won't grow them again, at the other end I have 4 each of cabbage and cauliflower plants, under the plastic cover I put peas but as yet they are not growing.

2 buckets with different types of carrots, 2 bags with potatoes and 2 more pots with cabbage and cauliflower plants. I love I am able to use space around my tiny garden, I have 3 more smaller bags for veg, I will set them up in a couple of weeks. I have netted both the cabbage tubs. 

My gooseberry bush has put on loads of growth, it's infront of my rhubarb, and next to my strawberry tower, my raspberries are growing strong, my blueberries are in flower, I have 2 bushes in one big pot, one fruits later than the other.

I decided not to build a net cage for my strawberries this year, I can make one to stop the birds, but not the mice, plus harvesting the berries can be tricky, so this year I have tiny bags which I will pop over each berry in hope of harvesting more, I won't cover the bottom tier, I think our wildlife deserves a fruity treat as well. Already there are loads of flowers and fruit forming.

 

I am happy with my vegetable section, the fine nets over each raised bed are working well, keeping pest at bay, I have already picked loads of snails from the outside of the net. I am using my copper rings, I only have 10, I am trying a different solution, I have been cutting the tops off pots, the ones the plants are sold in, I have wrapped copper tape around the outside, I've popped them over the plant, so far pest are not a problem. I have been spraying my roses with neem oil, it is clearing the whitefly, I am already picking snails, I've not seen many slugs.

My tomato and cucumber plants are still small, I have everything I need for planting them, the tulips will flower for a bit longer, so there is no hurry to get them in. I will soon sow my runner beans and a second lot of peas, I will also start some leeks, which I will grow in a bag.

Hubby needs some items on a same day delivery, he was short on the minimum order and got me another pack of garden bags, which I will happily use just got to decide what to grow. Our bag of potatoes have started sprouting, so I have taken 6 to share in two of my bags.
