Where's that pea gone??

A tub of red baron onions needed to be put in the ground which I got done on Saturday Little Tot took a photo of me doing it and photos of lots of other things like the neighbours apple tree. This apple tree produced some nice apples last year its a shame that some annoying man has taken it over. I say annoying because I spent ages trying to get a hose adapter on the tap as my hand just kept hurting and when I popped there tonight he had taken it off.





While weeding a raised bed I found a lonely asparagus I think which is lucky really as thats where I want to put my seed asparagus that has germinated.
















Carrots are starting to show, looks like a few parsnips too. Webbs lettuce, little gem and oasis turnips are up. Should have a couple of radishes to eat in a week as they aren't far off. Broad beans are producing pods, photo didn't come out as sun was in the way. I did a second sowing and they are coming up too already.

My peas are coming along brilliantly the funny thing was I took 2 seedlings with me and I planted one and couldn't find the other. I spent ages looking for it but where it went I have no idea. As you can see I have 4 pods forming at the mo.
The spuds are coming up with the Duke of York in the running showing first and one international kidney just coming through.
