A quick visit

Today's visit wasn't particularly long, as it was extremely windy, quite cold and we really only went to make the most of the weather before it turns. A quick rundown:

Carrots - we are fairly sure they are appearing, but it is hard to see exactly which may be carrots so we have avoided weeding there.

Lettuces - on the brink of world domination

Baby lettuces (from seed) - coming on strongly, the outside ones are outgrowing their bottles

Rocket - doing well

Spinach - currently no sign (it's been a while since planting, but they are next to the rocket)

Spring onions - appearing

Potatoes - amazingly leafy, growing ridiculously quickly, flowers starting to appear

Onions - looking good

Radishes - 2nd crop coming on well, the thinned out ones are not doing as well, but there is still some of the old crop left

Beetroot - developing many more leaves (interestingly, Si does a truly excellent impression of a beetroot being watered, it really is a treat for the eyes and ears)

Herb garden - doing REALLY well, much of the bits and pieces that seemed to struggle at first are well bedded in, and Si's birthday lavender is looking more at home. Weeded today.

Tomatoes - the larger ones are looking a bit perkier, and the mini one has started to fruit! It's very exciting, as they are a but fussy

Cucumbers - growing very fast, one is BIG (for a baby, it's not ready for picking yet)

Chilli - looking healthy but no sign of fruit. Some research is needed here. It is, however, the lowest maintenance plant ever and always looks healthy and happy

The Nigella plants I planted are also appearing

In an accessories update, it was the first outing for the pink wellies when Simon was present, and I think I can honestly say he was rendered speechless (in a good way, I'm sure). We also acquired a wheelbarrow, in anticipation of laying our path slabs later this week, and a hose pipe, for the bargainacious price of £4 (thank you to Wilkinsons on both counts!) We nearly brought Wilkos to a standstill upon request of the wheelbarrow, but we got there in the end. The hose pipe made watering a lot easier, as we have now reached a size where the constant filling up of the watering can is a bit tedious. 

Off to bed now, as it's been quite a busy day and Indiana Jones has exhausted me. He's quite tense, I think he needs an allotment.
