The veg plot is looking great.
The veg plot yesterday
The potatoes
The courgettes
They are coming on nicely
Today the rain has battered down the potatoes

Never mind, they would have fallen over eventually as they get ready to harvest so we decided to just leave them be.
The first courgettes of the year
I decided to pick the first courgettes and put them in the fridge for our Sunday dinner. By then there should be a few broad beans ready too.
After torrential rain battering the garden today it is lovely to see the hanging baskets looking good. We have this one at the back.

And this one at the front giving a welcome as we pull onto our drive. It would be great to have some sun but at least the garden is getting watered and the veg plot is giving us our first produce. You have to look on the bright side.

You are doing so well in the garden, every thing looks so good, I think all this sun shine and showers is doing the world of good, we are really happy with all our veg as well, but not picking courgettes yet. but every thing looks really healthy.
I think you are right, the sunshine and showers has brought everything on. This year our courgettes are so much better than last year. I picked an even bigger one this morning. I think we will mostly be eating courgettes next week!
Your veg plot is certainly looking good . I reckon it’s better than last year.
We have just had broad beans and courgettes with our Sunday dinner and just said the exact same thing. Already it is better than last year.
