Peas are in full flow and I'm now picking more than we can eat.
Potatoes are starting to die back, especially the large bed on the left; have been mulching over some of them with the straw/menu mix.
Got a single courgette from mum and planted that on far right between the squashes and leek seedlings.
The weather has been mostly cloudy, but very little rain and the ground is getting very dry.

The sweetcorn is growing well.

Planted my leek seedlings from pots plus some smaller ones from mum. They've gone into the bed next to the squashes, plus in the space next to the smaller bed of potatoes where the previous leeks ran to seed.

Levelling the ground in front of the new shed. Taken the lawnmower back home, pending repair.

Cabages being shreded -- presumably by pigeons -- so covered with fleeece over a frame made from some alu poles.
Remaining leeks all gone to seed, so pulled up and dug over their bed.
Started to mulch between sweetcorn plants, either with just grass or some of the straw/menure mix.
Peas coming on nicely although not much to support them so added another level of string between the poles over thier bed.
