This is a melon plant
A butternut squash - there are some more squash planted in some piles of horse and rabbit poo near the stables
These are potatoes planted a few weeks ago and starting to grow. The plastic thing in the middle of the bed is meant to scare the voles away. They eat the potatoes and the roots of lots of the other plants and are VERY annoying. We shall see come harvest time whether it made any difference.
I also planted some bean seeds and some tomato plants (we cheated and bought ready grown ones rather than doing it from seed. There is only so much time in the day!)
The strawberries are doing well as are some of the raspberries and the rhubarb. The other fruit bushes haven't got established yet.
You can see it has been quite dry. You can also see that the paths between the beds have grown so tall with grass you can barely get down them. We MUST strim soon!
This is more wood that Doug has cut near the veg garden and needs transporting down to the wood drying area
To celebrate we had this prawn pizza with borage and rocket from the garden
