Veggie update!

Did I say that I'm growing vegetables again this year? I'm a bit behind really, as I didn't plant any seeds until late. I've been keeping my fingers crossed that everything catches up and grows quickly with all the warm weather we've been having. So far the tomato plants are doing ok, although they haven't got any flowers on yet ....

The mini cucumber plants seem to be doing better.....

It's quite exciting to see the small cucumbers forming. 

And I admit to cheating ever so slightly. I bought some chilli plants instead of growing them from seed. But, I figured it was too late to sow any seeds now. 

I seem to have quite a few raspberries growing too. I'm just hoping we get to eat them before the birds get them! 

I've also sown seeds this week - radish, lettuce, chives, coriander, peas, mangetout and parsley. Fingers crossed that everything does ok. The radish are sprouting already and I only sowed the seeds on Monday! 

Walks with Oscar for the last few days have been very uncomfortable. I've been taking him out a bit later in the hope that it will have cooled off a little bit - it's been so hot during the day. We managed one longer walk last night as there was a bit of a breeze, but had to settle with our standard walk tonight because of the heat. 

Sadly I don't think this lovely weather is due to last much longer, but it's been lovely while it's here!
