Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
We still have this bitterly cold north wind which is spinning around the Baltics with gusts ripping through the polytunnel... it is remarkably resistant. Outside, the wind is accelerating evaporation, so the surface of the vegetable garden is rock hard. It didn't rain in the night so I have been watering by hand.
I planted out the parsley, some French beans that I germinated in pots in the polytunnel, filled the gaps in the broad beans and the other French beans and also sowed some radishes and Mesclun which will need to be covered. Picked some more asparagus too and did a bit of weeding. Everything is looking fine but could do with a bit more rain. It could be a bumper year for berries but the bees don't like the wind.
