Chard sown over a year ago is still producing fresh spring greens and the first of this year's sowings is nearly ready to pick.

| The former communal beds now taken over by new plot holders |

| Top section of the main plots from my boundary fence |
 |
| My top border coming into flower |
 |
| The autumn planted Longor shallot sets are nearly ready to harvest |
 |
| Bunyards Exhibition broad beans direct sown under cover in mid to late March - much better than transplanting leggy module plants |
 |
| Marvel of 4 Seasons lettuce - Madeiran seed at 96 euro cents a packet with enough for a small field -tried to sow thinly but every one germinated so more thinning needed as I go along - a butterhead variety with a lovely texture and flavour |
 |
| Cledor garlic planted mid March |
 |
| Pre sprouted Cobra, Borlotto beans and Golden Zucchini sown in trays and planted out in late May to avoid damaging winds after the warm spell |
 |
| Gooseberries bulking up |
 |
| Had initial problems with cheap module sown Telephone tall peas.Started too early? A later mid May attempt with pre-sprouted and direct sown seed has been ok though. |
