Been really busy this week so Lot’s of pictures and not so much talking! – What a relief! 
We were lucky enough to get acouple new arrivals to the garden this week. Firstly a spearmint plant kindly given to us by our friends Claire and Dom. It’s going to get a good spot in the new herb bed.
The other is a Apache Chili plant that I bought from a local garden centre. It’s actually an F1 hybrid. I don’t usually buy Chili plants and I don’t usually buy F1 Hybrids but this one just caught my eye.
In the garden things are still going well, in the big bed the onions are still going up and the broad beans are in flower. I have thinned the row of kelsae and Ailsa Craigs so they have plenty of room to grow big. I also planted the climbing French beans out this weekend.
In the Greenhouse everything is moving along.
I am doing an experiment with some Iceberg Lettuce’s that I have planted in the Greenhouse. The brown soil on the left is from a local beech woodland. It’s beautiful stuff and I am hoping it can make a permanent replacement for expensive bought compost! I am really disliking bought compost lately and I never manage to produce enough of my own. What I hate most is finding bits of plastic bags and rubbish. Who wants to grow stuff in that!
The small bed is also showing signs of life. Carrots, Parsnips and Beetroot are coming through. I have also cleared another small space in front of the compost bin.
Finally got round to planting the Rhubarb in the garden!
That’s all folks!
