Greenhouse is bulging at the seams, not picking much yet, strawberries, salad and sweet peas, but everything is full of promise.

I had a happy day today - not only are my veg looking great but my strawy manure has broken down brilliantly so used it to mulch the beds. Still some beds to do so will be down tomorrow before someone finds my stash!

Under the mini tunnel, the top could come off now, but the carrots are still a bit small as the first sowing failed to germinate.

I don't think I've had tatties this tall, just hope there's a crop underneath too

Everything looks like it is prospering, a bit more light and heat would come in handy as you say, another grey damp midgy morning here. Thought I would add a photograph of lunch before I pick it, first tomatoes Sungold and Bloody Butcher.

Tiger & Geoff! Looking good!

Had some of these beauties tonight - first picking from the bottom of the Red Scarlet - just enough, but maybe a wee wait for the next as the rest are much smaller, but will soon be overwhelmed looking at the amount of blossom!

Ailsa Craig seem the most prolific, but the Tumbling toms in the hanging basket should produce my first this weekend for eating, not grown them before.
