I'm using Hortons MPC at the moment, seems very acceptable for potting on and for topping up the raised beds.

Playing with my new toy

Although far from summer like, planting and sowing is now gathering momentum

Onions and Brassicas in the first raised bed includes white cabbage, romanesc and broccoli

First carrots now showing, so some succesional planting now in hand, these are eskimo carrots

I have to say the quality of MPC has plummeted over the past couple of years, mouldy and full of bits of wood is how I would describe some of the stuff on offer these days. The free "soil improver" at our local council tip is better quality, made from the composted green waste from the bins.

Another fan of the fast show here who are mostly been dodging rain showers by planting out my tomatoes into their final spots inside the greenhouse

Blimey heat in Scotland, on the East side and in May, had to get the hose pipe out

Farmyard dung?(my Charlottes and Roosters are doing well just now)

Tatties do vary in vigour, indeed my carrots are as well

Hardening off some Brassicas for planting later in the week

Starting my new strawberry bed as the other is now over 4 years old, got 6 plants for £6 from B&Q, nice strong looking plants, Elsanta, which I have never grown before, I shall take some runners from my existing bed of Cambridge Favourites and I'm after some Honeoye, anyone got any other recomme...

Just off to plant some of this months free seeds from the mag

Roots might be a problem, carrots and parsnips are grown in my raised beds that have a membrane at the bottom to keep out weeds and tree roots, the plants just bend if they hit the membrane and carry on growing. I now tend to grow stump rooted carrots.

My Grandson grew assorted flowers and cress last year at his primary

My apples are not yet in bloom, but as I sprayed them this morning(suffer badly with scab) I can see there should be some decent quantity of flower in a week or so.

Just planted out a few peas and broad beans I'd started off in the greenhouse in root trainers, no sign of the seeds from the same packet that were sowed direct a few weeks ago.
