Hello .
What a busy start to the season already.
I have the majority of my plants in the ground already and it is only mid April,I am quite lucky because we don't generally get frost now where I am.
I have 3 types of peas on the go,one variety is Kelvdon Wonder which is approx 8" high now.
A few types of carrots which are mainly carrot root fly resistant.
Butternut squashes are doing well.I have 3 varieties this year.
Two types of courgettes one being yellow and one dark green.
Sweetcorn a few inches high growing with pumpkins.
Broad beans and french beans.
Sprouting broccoli and cauliflowers.
Leeks and onions and garlic.
Potatoes which are Maris bard,Deserrie,Nicola,King Edwards and Kestral.
Parsnips have been sown but no sign as yet.
Strawberry,gooseberry,currants are all in flower and the raspberries are full of bud.
Who would believe it is only April.
The cows in the field next to me are enjoying the good weather too with the calf's leaping around like lambs.

I loved reading your blog! Looks like veggie growers all over the country are doing the same things at the same time. Have you had any problems with gooseberry sawfly yet this year?
So how is it all growing? I'm eager for an update.
