The weather is Spring like i.e. it is variable. Mostly everything seems to be growing well. The lettuce are reluctant this year, I have sown seeds yet again, the seeds that have germinated must have been from lettuce that flowered last year because they are not where I have sown seed but that doesn't matter. I don't have very many but I had lettuce from the garden for lunch today. The carrots are also slow and I have sown more. My beans shoots are being eaten by snails but I still have about 8 that seem to have survived.
I have eaten gooseberries from the garden and had 2 helpings of strawberries, so far they have not been eaten by the wild-life. I have also been given strawberries by a neighbour. It looks like there will be loads of fruit this year. All I need now is patience.
14th June
Nearly half way through and nearly summer. After a slow start June has suddenly got very warm and dry. The raspberries and cherries are now ripening, just as I go away again. The lettuce and carrots remain reluctant everything else is doing well.
