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!
Sorry in advance if they appear on here sideways - haven't a clue how to fix it as it is not all pics affected.

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.
Looks like a couple of the white beets are going to seed.

I don't think I've had tatties this tall, just hope there's a crop underneath too
There's a Courgette, Celeriac, Brussels, Swedes and the odd rogue tattie that must have been in the buried compost.(forgot there's Parsnips 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!

Everything seems to be doing well apart from carrots
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.
