Status update!

Went over the road today, weeded round the 4 cornflowers (now I know what they look like) that are coming up in the middle of my weeds! 

The peas seem to be recovering from their bout of pea and bean weevil and the ones Caroline gave me are coming up, those that hadn't been dug up that is. I need to find them something to climb up.

The Salad bed is looking pretty good really. Everything except the Bucks Horn and the Okahijiki is coming up. The lettuces and pak choi from Caroline is still unmolested. 

My potatoes are coming up, rather bizarrely all on one side first. Maincrops still underground.
Spinach is coming up, no sign of broccoli but the stuff I started in the greenhouse if doing well.

I got some onion sets from Ron and have started this lot off inside in a tray first as the current lot is so pathetically weedy! I really must borrow the strimmer and tackle round the edge of my "cage" as its all getting a bit day of the triffids! (or however else one spells it).

All good so far, the usual sense of calm and restorative goodness prevails.
