Wowsers RR!  I have peas through, altho not as many as I sowed, they seemed to have been eaten in the ground, lots of wee holes in the seeds, so I shall sow another load tomorrow.  Radish, Lambs lettuce and corn salad through.  Early broadies in flower, spring ones looking good, poking thru the tops of the pop bottle cloches, so removed them.  Lettuce also in bottle cloches and filling them quickly, so uncovered a few to see what the wild life does to them before I expose the lot.  Planted beetroots, parsnips and caulis that I had started in cells.  Kohl Rabi looking strong and the slugs have left well alone, but then the old chaps on the site use slug pellets like pepper!  Fruit bushes are in flower and the apple trees are going to look stunning in a couple of weeks.  No sign of carrots yet, but they were old seed, so will sow another couple of rows tomorrow as back up.  Spuds not yet through, but they have only been in a couple of weeks.  Will probably get my maincroppers in tomorrow, time permitting.  Ooo, and pulled another 3 leeks from last years crop.  Delish!!

Ain't life grand RR!
