Things are starting to speed up now. It's getting to that crazy time when all you seem to be doing is planting out!

Today the broad beans, peas and mange tout went in. Marc did a cracking job making the wigwams and getting the plants in, he even put a layer of poo all round so hopefully they will get a good feed as well. I can almost taste them already, the veg that is... The pumpkins in the greenhouse already have flowers on them but there is no way they are going out for a few more weeks, I'd rather chance losing a few flowers than losing the actual plants with a late frost. I think everything else we have will wait a few more weeks before they go in so there is less fear of frost.

We came home with a lovely crop of rhubarb, which was boosted generously by a donation from Gary. I'm going to attempt my first ever rhubarb jam. I never get enough for making jam as we usually end up eating all of our crop straight away!
