The veggie garden is coming on.

A few weeks ago I posted the pictures of a cold looking garden with some empty raised beds.  Well we planted some peas and some seed potatoes in one bed and onion sets in the other.

 I used twigs that had been cut from the hedge for the pea sticks, they seem to be working ok.  A few of the plants have been eaten by the pigeons so I have replaced them with seeds.
The potatoes are coming along nicely as well, these should produce 'new potatoes' in a month or so.  I also have some of the seed potatoes in the fridge so I can use them later in the year for roasting potatoes at Christmas.

As well as the onion sets we have some chili, courgette, french bean, runner bean and, of course, some tomato plants in the greenhouse.

The rest of the garden is looking ok and we've had lots of blossom on the fruit trees so we are hoping for a good year.  Can't wait to cook with stuff we have grown ourselves.
