The Tomatoes are looking really strong and healthy. Those fruits that have set are growing nicely as are the ones formed on the cucumbers.

While on the subject of food we are eating our own lettuces and the Mizzuna is now ready for picking. This is the first year I have tried growing this salad leaf and have not been able to resist picking the odd leaf or two to chew on while working in the greenhouse. Well, why not!

The Beetroot leaves will be ready for cutting this next week or the week after and the Rocket is nearly ready. The big disappointment is the Purslane which has struggled to germinate and what has is very slow growing. Maybe it is just down to the funny growing season.

I have seen field mice in the garden many times but this week was a first, a shrew; so tiny but unmistakably a shrew. It is always a good sign to see new wildlife in the garden, maybe I am getting the environment right.
