Back from my holidays, and back to my garden.
Fist early potatoes bags and tubs earthed up. But more to plant, going to put them in the ground.
Carrots and spring onions just starting to show through in the Polly tunnel.
Tomatoes planted into the final position in the poly tunel, and one already has a flower

Image

Image

Strawberries in ploy tunnel also have flowers

Image


I think it may be too warm for the brassicas, they are looking very "leggy" any advice would be appreciated

Image


Lettuce looking good

Image

More planting to be done today.

And finally, an egg in the compost heap
