Well finally got 20ft of spuds in. The weather has been either wet or cold here but it seems that the soil has warmed up nicely so I put them in. A bit overkill for such a small patch but tried out this gadget... The wizard beans were starting to flower so they got chopped up to be used as a...

I know it's not remotely bushy but my garage door has dropped... Well to be honest it's never fit really well since we moved into the house and I've just used the garage for wood really. But now I want to make it secure and more of a work shop. It's the type with the two springs either side...

Field beans are a little on the large side as the weather has been so mild!! I've planted these this year as a green manure. Having a bit of a tidy up around the beds. Still need to manure up as well as pick up some top soil. Greenhouse looks a bit sad. The black on the soil are carpet tiles...
