Garden in May - veg and fruit

The veg patch at home isn't as large as it used to be but there's still plenty growing there -

Chives, which seem to grow back no matter how much I chop them



Spinach - now getting a bit leggy and threatening to run to seed

Some surprise seedlings - home grown seed that I thought were more spinach but they look like beetroot.

The greenhouse is absolutely full with things waiting for warmer weather - tomatoes and, hiding in the corner, a cucumber.

 cabbages, cauliflowers and an odd lupin

 lettuce, peas, onions

leeks, squashes, aubergine and flower seedlings






the vine trying to take over everywhere

and, if you look carefully, flower buds forming












Lots of small salad leaves - american land cress, mustards and spinach here













more of the mustard mix and red oak-leaf lettuce











garlic

fruit-in-waiting - apple blossom

red currants

black currants

 

strawberries lining the path

 

flowering blueberry

and peas starting to climb their poles

these are Delikett, a sugar snap variety

and these the purple podded Blauwschokker
