I try to get to the plot after work during the week, now that days are longer. It's a lot cooler too.
Potted up cues and pumpkin seedlings today. Still no strawberries but lots of asparagus, lettuce and broad beans.
Beetroot, swede and onions can probably be harvest but they are still quite small.
Happy growing everyone.
