After the long spell of good weather everything in the garden is growing well. Our wildflowers are all in bloom and some have grown almost as tall as our young fruit trees.
Our friends at Shiremoor Allotment Association have been very busy making our duck house fit for a couple of ducks which should move in later in the week. A run has been constructed for them while they get used to their new home.
The poly-tunnel is looking fantastic - hard the believe it was a bare soil plot just weeks ago.
One of our sunflowers, its head is about the size of a dinner plate.
More of our sunflowers, some are over 5ft tall so far.
The sweetcorn is looking good so far.
Celariac growing in our raised bed.
Peas, which are just about ready to be picked.
