    visible growing

    been up the allotment today and everything seems to have grown 2" over night. i have onions the size of cricket balls, the greyhound cabbage is heartening up at last, the poor wind battered beans are twisting up the canes. the shallots are bursting out of the soil.

    already eating super sweet strawberries.

    Same here - have had a trickle of strawberries coming the last few weeks, there are little tomatos setting fruit already, lots of things in flower, and cucumbers on the vine waiting for a last fattening up before being eaten.

    Good times

      You must have had rain - we're still waiting for ours.

        No rain, but a hosepipe and very small pot garden makes for easy rain replication!

        Went down to OH's garden near lowestoft last week, it was barren and so dry. Yesterday driving through thetford there were all these bone dry fields with dust clouds being blown off them...

          Tomatoes in the greenhouse although size of marbles, loads of flowering potatoes, peas fattening, but onions tiny still (not overwintering ones). Last night my cuke plant were just under my high shelf (planted in growbags on staging bench; today they are an inch - two inches taller! How do I know? Because they have pushed their way through the slats in the high shelf and are standing an inch above it. WOW!

            Beetroot, swede & turnips taking off. Tomatoes and potatoes & 1 chilli just showing tiny flowers (I was late with them all). Spring onions fattening up, carrots & parsnips slowly progressing.

              Don't you just love this time of year and over the next few months it can only get better.

                I do. I went away for 2 days last weekend - couldn't believe the difference when I got back.
