General Comments

Spend the day today (and yesterday) weeking and taking stock of the vege-patch. Here's the run-down:

Nearly everything in with the rhubarb was smothered by the rhubarb. The exceptions being the artichokes which are quite some way from the rhubarb.

We ate the red turnips before going and planted new ones which have germinated.

Carrots are growing slowly.

The strawberry spinach has grown to about the size of a fingernail.

The parsley did nothing and hasn't even germinated.

Finally, planted cauliflower in seed trays before leaving and planted 17 green cauli and 15 snowball cauli into the patch yesterday.

Three of four zucchini germinated and were planted out today.

The black raddish didn't germinate, the othes went to seed, but are good none the less.

Harvested a lettuce today - tates good.
