lots of plump juicy raspberries in our garden.
the recent rain has squashed the plants but hopefully they'll spring back up.
So how are folks doing this year? Not having a greenhouse I've done no planting at all yet, doesn't seem like much is going to germinate or flourish at the mo!
Nope, we've done nowt yet. Potatoes are chitting on the windowsill but it's too cold to plant them yet
Prepared and dug over veggie patch last autumn... had visions of spending the spring evenings planting veg, playing in the greenhouse and sipping a wee glass of wine in my best 'Barbara Good' fashion.
But the reality is a few packets of seeds sitting in the greenhouse and an elephant sized mole making his way across the lawn and into the veggie patch, waiting for me to plant his dinner...
So to keep me going...
Any tips for a newbie veg grower? What varieties for central Scotland? What will grow easily despite the weather and the fact that, given the choice, I would rather spend time on my bike than tending my crops 😕
we have spuds chitting in the greenhouse - not that they have done much. Basil on the windowsill along with tomato plants that we purchased last week (I know cheating but I am fed up with getting tomatoes in September/October when the man next door has them from May/June! Foolishly planted broad beans and peas in the greenhouse a few weeks ago before the snow. So I am ready to pounce when the sun starts warming the earth...
Bunnyhop's loft earlier this week...

Poor NBt is having to do 2 jobs just to pay the 'lecky bill.
Finally got some spuds into the ground.
Have sown some tomatoes, broccoli, chard, parsley, here's hoping we have a better growing season than 2012.
