With all the sun we've been having this month its difficult to keep up with everything in the garden.

Planted early potatoes in bags this year, first time for me, the growth is amazing, now standing at 4 feet so I had to stake it to keep it in check. Whats going on below though is anyones guess!

In the raised bed I made last year we are now picking mixed lettuce leaves and sampling the first radish of the season.
Carrots and beetroot I started in the greenhouse are growing on well.

All my tomatoes have now been put in their final pots but not yet in their final places due to lack of space. They all have buds on and a few are just coming into flower so it wont be to long before the feeding begins.
