Well, the broad beans are all in, so most of the peppers had to come out so rik could rototill the patch , we still have one row thats producing so we left them in, I was given some strawberry runners so have put one plant on the end of each row of beans... Im going to plant some garlic after the weekend too.
The aubergines bless em are still plodding on, as are the courgettes... every time I think I'll pull them up they produce a new little flush. Its as if they know....
The winter garden is doing well, cabbage looking strong and healthy, the leeks are finally starting to move and grow, as are athe turnips, and the greleiros is still going in soup and stews, the onion seeds are up and tiny but growing. I planted a few broad beans down there a few weeks ago amd they are now 5 inches tall.... hey hey...
The main focus now though will be on the olives, we start our picking tomorrow, then will go off to a friends over the weekend to help with theirs, then will continue till ours and theirs are done.... busy busy busy....
