How does your garden grow?

This year, with having Thomas to look after, I realised I wasn’t going to have much time for growing my fruit and veg in the garden. I’d already got a few things planted before he came along but growing anything from seeds was just unlikely to be left forgotten about (with the exception of a bit of salad stuff going straight in the ground if we get good enough weather). However, thanks to my Dad for starting a few things off and getting everything planted out for me we now have quite a few things on the go.

Already in the garden are strawberry plants, raspberry canes and a gooseberry bush. I planted out garlic back in October/November time too. We now also have potatoes, peas, carrots, lettuce, rhubarb (already had some of this in Easter), fine beans and tomatoes. I just hope that we get some decent weather to get some good fruit, veg and salad this year, especially as by the time it all starts to ripen, Thomas will be onto solids and will be able to try the various foods straight out the garden
