Fruit and veg growing, how’s it going this year?

I havent even managed to get outside to my little pots this year. (And they're only outside my backdoor!)

I want to plant some potatoes that are sprouting but I haven't the energy.

It is still early here in Scotland. The seeds in the greenhouse are sprouting but I won't plant them out yet.
Tatties are in though and coming through and the spinach from last year is going great. I'm picking rhubarb too..
I have just been given 2 josterberries which I have planted.
Isn't it nice to be able to pop outside and gather herbs in the sunshine.

My plum tree is only 3 or 4 years old and usually flowers sparsely and quite early, when I suspect there are too few pollinators around. This year it was laden with blossom and alive with bees and the fruits are already set. If only half of them survive I will have a good crop - although with gardening there’s no knowing what may yet happen.

Same here Grandmabatty. I keep looking at the blossom on the fruit trees and willing it to slow down or there will be a heavy frost and there won’t be any fruit at all this year here. My coldframe is full to bursting with stuff ready to go out after the last frost.

I have tomato seedlings and courgettes growing well in the greenhouse and cucumber seeds that I sowed 9 days ago are up.
I have runner beans growing well that need planting out and I will sow carrots and beetroot in modules today as well as salad leaves.
My strawberry plants are growing as are the fruit bushes and raspberries and my apple tree is smothered in blossom, beautiful.
The plum tree had 4 flowers, the pear tree has a few too (they were only planted a couple of years ago.
All in all it’s looking good ???

Slow start of seed sowing, toms, cu, peppers, chilli, courgettes and beans germinated in the greenhouse. Carrots and beetroot sown in the raised bed where my few new potatoes have popped up. Three blueberry bushes are finished flowering and the elephant garlic looks good.

We don't have an allotment any more but in our garden we have planted strawberries, bush tomatoes and beetroot. Runner beans and lettuce will be next. We have a plum tree which hasn’t had much blossom this year, raspberries, rhubarb and a gooseberry bush.

I haven't started yet as we still have frost some nights. I will plant strawberries in a basket at my back door, alongside parsley and lettuce. I use my little greenhouse for propagating flowers. I intend to get to the garden centre this week for beetroot, carrots and peas to try them in pots. If they are successful, then I'll branch out next year.
