How the plot has changed - three months

Peas (foreground) Pak Choi (middle) and Hispi Cabbage at the rear (the tiny seedlings along the back edge are new Spinach)

Broad Beans

The Broad Beans...

some more of the plot

The carrots are bottom right, Red Onions and Shallots, left, and nearest the corrugated iron are the Jerusalem Artichokes...

Spuds

...and these are the Jersey Royals...

The two lines of British Queen spuds with a streak of spinach down the middle...

Mmmm

I ate the first produce from the plot just now, some Pak Choi and some Spinach...

Stir fried both gently in some olive oil - delicious!

The rest of the stuff seems to be doing really well, and I'm hoping for rain over the coming days to spur it all on further...

The Hispi cabbages I planted out from home were a bit weedly and spindly, but they've mostly recovered and started putting on a bit of bulk, and have all now got collars on to protect them from cabbage root fly... most of the beetroot is through, though really small, as is some of the Kohl Rabi next to it... second patch of spinach up already, and I'm toying with the idea of putting in some perpetual spinach once it's been harvested...

Potatoes look like they've made a complete recovery, and if I get a chance this week, I'll earth them up a bit. Broad beans going from strength to strength, will have to spray later on for blackfly, though they don't look too bad at the moment. I've now tied the peas to their stakes as they didn't want to hang on themselves, and I've interplanted with loads more to crop later in the summer (the first pea pods are just showing now)

Carrots will need thinning, but I didn't have the heart tonight.

Promise to post pics soon!

All in!

It's all in at last! All the plot is planted up... Had a bit of a scare last week, the frost looked like it had completely massacred our spuds, but they're growing back strongly; their yield might be down a bit but fingers crossed... all 30 are up, which is amazing!

PLUS: Two rows of Beetroot, two of Kohl Rabi, two wide beds of Spinach, one of Spring Onion. A double row of Pak Choi, three rows of Peas, four rows of Carrots (four lates to go in late June), tons of Broad Beans, 6 Jerusalem Artichokes, 9 Shallots, 25 Red Onions, two rows of Summer Cabbage and a partridge in a pear tree!
