First tomatoes and plums harvested

Spuds batch 3 planted

Having harvested all the spuds from the old greenhouse bed, I planted some more (which is batch 3 for the year).

I planted 16 spuds but one looked a bit iffy.

Heuchera and Saxifraga Triumph seeds sown

It appears some of the Saxifraga seeds I sowed on 25 June may be germinating...

So I decided to sow some more, along with some Heuchera seed. For each type of seed, I sowed uncovered and covered (using a little garden soil to cover rather than compost)...

Broad Bean update

Lots of blackfly. I opened some pods but the beans were very small.

Wallflowers planted out

Front garden

Runner Bean update

The first batch of runner beans failed to germinate, but then I realised the best before date on the packet was 2011. I bought some more and they have come up...

First spuds of season harvested

The potato plants from batch 1 have just about died so I lifted 3 plants today. Was a little disappointed by the yield but these were the spuds that I sowed too near the path so I wasn't able to earth them up.
