well it aint like that anymore!
I’ll take some pics tomorrow as it’s getting dark now, but the patch is looking soooo weedy. I’m struggling to keep on top of it all.
Let’s see, how’s it coming on. Well the original strawberry plants we planted have given us about 1 strawberry each. Really hope next year is better! The 5 plants we got from Homebase seem to be faring a bit better and we have some fairly big ones growing there.
The courgette plant is flowering and the first one is starting to grow, the summer squash flowered yesterday too. Pumpkins are coming along nicely. In between them the sweetcorn did grow, but not huge amounts of it. I have about 8 plants and I’m not sure how many of them will survive 
The beefsteak tomato plant is flowering too and I think the other tom plants will nto be too far behind. Wish I knew what to do with tom plants. I keep reading aboutpinching out and all that but am too scared to do anything!! I need someone to hold my hand. Aubergine and pepper plants are dong ok too I think.
harvested a radish this morning and we realised no one likes them 
so that was good!!
Peas are a mess! They are just everywhere except where I want them to climb. I’m sure they’ll be fine. Saw the first flower on them today so that was exciting. Really looking forward to peas 
And finally the potatoes are huge! Didn’t realise the plants grew so big! When I left before my hols there was no sign of them and 2 weeks later they were about a foot and a half tall. Have been earthing them up. Should be a good crop I think.
Pics tomorrow if I remember and I must do some more weeding then!
These comments have been invaluable to me as is this whole site. I thank you for your comment.
