That looks huge progress. We think nothing’s happening and then realise how much we’ve done and how much things have grown. I’m itching to be more organised on the veg front and am envying you your varied planting list. I have quite a large area given over to veg, but my focus at the moment is on planting up the 3 big perennial borders. So far I’ve only got some tatties in the ground, have sown kale and Romesco cauliflower (100% germination for the latter), spinach (feeble germination), climbing French beans and about to pop broad beans in the ground.

We have a truly ancient flame thrower thingy inherited from my husband’s grandfather. It looks and sounds alarming in action, but works a treat on weeds in gravel.
