Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
Things are making very slow progress. The French beans don't like the rain and it looks like the strawberries will produce a profusion of massive fruits with no flavour, unless we get some sunshine. Still picking asparagus and I managed to weed the carrots, parsnips, beetroot and mangold though it was hard work as the seedlings are barely one centimetre high. I was tempted to leave the weeds until the vegetables are bigger and leafier and easier to see but it was getting a bit over-crowded under the fleece. The broad beans (flageolets) are doing fine.
