It's July 1 and...

Some welcome rain today and more expected overnight. I was digging up the last 'Kestrel' potatoes yesterday and the ground below was barely damp, no wonder the crop was lousy, as well as having suffered from the low nighttime temperatures earlier.

Peas (both podded and mangetout) and broad beans are really prolific now and the carrots are just coming up to eating size - brilliant for eating raw, too. Overall, it looks like a good cropping year.

Hi Monika, we needed that rain. Freqent rain here in the S.E. now, a good time to plant more radish, the last lot grew rapidly and huge. I'll be using the free radish seeds with KG mag this month, pak choi seeds too, two packs, they are generous this month.
