Life is good!

Well the weather certainly seems to have finally decided to get into the spirit of Spring, the days have been glorious here - dare I say....warm - and the wind has even realised it's unwanted.
The garden is really beginning to take shape now and my polytunnel certainly looks better for all the room now I've got so many plants into the ground.

Talking of the polytunnel though there's been a few calamities alongside the successes

These Cucumbers should be romping away by now but the slugs are having their evening meal dining on their leaves, despite the slug pellets I reluctantly put down


They're also munchin away on the Cauli's in the tunnel too.


I always swore that the slugs could do their will but I refuse to go out with a torch at night picking the blighters off their chosen meal, but I think I maybe changing my mind on that one.

At least they're not interested in the Onions, this is the first year after many of trying that I have managed to get an onion do this


The sweetcorn are being left to romp along as well


Believe it or not these Tomato plants are the healthiest I've ever produced as well. They may not be the biggest around but I'm quietly optimistic that I'll get some decent fruits and as I've never grown 'Roma' or 'Black Russian'  I'm looking forward to trying them.



I hope the sun is shining for you, wherever you may be!
