The best laid plans..

 As ever, plans get changed! This is the only repotting done yesterday...the first one took well over a month to germinate..now there are three!!
 The second bed surround in the polytunnel got built, all bar tidying up two corners.

 It was a fiddle, having to work in situ from the first length which was holding the path in place...but fortunate as at the end the bed we had assumed was a regular rectangle was a little wider at the door end.
Almost ready to use...we just need some rainfall . The cold northerly winds are holding growth back as well, but despite everything the onions and garlic are growing steadily outside and the broad beans are flowering.
Not many beans set though, the cold winds are not helping the insects.
We must have had enough at the right time for the currants and gooseberries as the fruit has set on them.  Netting has started and I will finish today.... hopefully!!

yes, it's been a slow Spring here too. those north west winds just killed us this year. Seeing a few bee and pollinators around but not many yet. I have got to get pot bound plants in the ground this weekend!!

All the hard work will be paying off in no time.

Everything these days is inconvenient and awkward, for which we must be grateful since the alternative is so much worse.

Waiting for rain here as well.
