Almost ready



Things are coming along in the garden; the broad beans are almost ready to start picking (well, a few of them are) - with luck I should have a nice supply of beans ready to freeze. The courgette plants given to me by a friend, and planted out in large pots, have started to flower and some fruit are currently a couple of inches long. I've heard that courgettes grow quickly so with luck I should have a few ready to eat very soon. There's a few tomatoes in the hanging basket - still green, but cherry sized at the moment. The runner beans are growing slowly, as is the beetroot, and the sprouts. I appear to be holding the slugs off for now, so with a bit of luck (and more slug pellets) they will remain uneaten for the near future.
