Summer has started with a vengeance, temperatures have soared immediately. I'm not sure of the exact temperature but it is in the 30's, I expect we will get thunderstorms soon.
Things are growing nicely. I had 1/2lb of raspberries yesterday and managed to freeze most of them. today I have transplanted most of my leeks, it seems sensible to do so before the ground is really dry, hopefully they will take.
I have also dug some more potatoes, I don't seem to have so many this year but at least I have some and I will have more later in the year. I had one garlic! I will plant them in the autumn again this year.
I have sown more lettuce and spring onions, I have loads of lettuce at the moment, I have spring onions but they are only small, they grow very slowly. the courgette has buds so maybe I will have a courgette shortly!
I have had to pull out loads of tomato plants, they have self seeded and the ones that have self seeded are enormous compared to the plants I tenderly cherished all spring :( I doubt I will sow tomato seeds again, or peppers.
