Finally ...

... some rain.  It poured down last Sunday, we've had a few showers since and more is forecast for this weekend.  Hurrah.

My courgette plants went in this week, and I've sown more seed, mainly rocket and salad.  One bed of broad beans was cleared, and seeds for PSB and cavolo nero have gone in.  I have a big stock of oldish seed to use up this year so have been sowing fairly indiscriminately; if half of it comes up, I will be happy.

The salad leaves and coriander sown earlier this year have come up rather slowly, although there is about enough to cut now.  The strawberries are ripe, and I'm starting to get some raspberries too.  The French beans are up, although still quite small.  I think that perhaps one of the salsola seeds has germinated - but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for.  The first early potatoes should be ready about now, and I'll dig up the first plant this weekend.
