rhubarb and radishes are the only things that are really giving me any food at the moment. Runner beans, french beans and broad beans are growing well. Potatoes one lot of 2nd earlies and a main crop. Peas all growing up at one side. Carrots, Beetroot, beet spinach, sweetcorn, garlic, red onions, rocket, lettuces, raspberries, red currants, tay berrys (although first year for the last two so I don't expect anything really.)

courgettes to be planted out as the two I had already growing got eaten by damb slugs, my barrier kept them in instead of out.

Sunflowers, nasturnums, sage, camomlie, rosemary, agrimony oh and some tightly packed turnip seeds to kill off the couch.

Still awaing to germinate and not sure if they will as they are old seed. Bronze fennel and wormwood.

And at home not sure if I will plant out on alltoment yet... tasty bell peppers, jalapeno peppers and a fl hybrid I can't remmeber the name off the top of my head. Cherry toms, money makers and a mystery tomato plant (given to me) all growing a couple starting to flower, I think I have about 30 tomato plants altogehter. . A mini melon tree called something gold part of the solinacious family. Corriander, cumin, basil, pasley, rue, mint.

Also some purple sprouting broccoli in seed trays only just startign to grow. I have a bunch of various salad leaves growing in the back garden in window boxes and some spuds in tyres.

I think that is it, also have loads more herbs seeds to plant. I am sure I have forgotten something but yep that is me at the moment.
