Radish, petit pois, salad and gooseberries.
Posted under: Wow, what an unbelievable weekend, following the heavy rain at the beginning of the week and plenty of adulterated sunshine over the past few days everything in the garden has grown. As you can see from the photos, we’ve been eating our generous crop of radish.
The Petit Pois garden peas are over 18 inches tall, and are climbing the fence at a furious pace.
The Maris peer 2nd early potatoes are flowering, and will be ready for lifting around late June early July. In the picture below the onions are doing well, and the King Edwards are just over 4 feet tall! The smaller potato plants are my 1st early Swift variety, these do not flower and we’re eating them now. I’m hoping to lift them all this week and plant a second crop of potatoes for autumn.
The salad beds are stuffed to the gunnels with fresh and juicy vegetables, so it’s hard to stop myself grazing. Finally the gooseberries are plumping up and will be ready to eat soon.

What brilliant pictures and you’re crops are fantastic!!
Ours too have been growing like crazy following all the lovely rain and sunshine. I’ll put some pictures on my blog this week.
Thanks. I’ve grown a few to many radish, but I can’t stop eating them. In fact I like them so much, I’m going to be sowing some purple radish this weekend.
