The veg

The veg is growing quite very slowly in both the potager and the cold frame, the weather has been wet and cold. The slugs haven't helped either, they have eaten most of the kale and half the broad beans as well as some of the peas, mange tout and sugar snaps.. We have planted more of each in the cold frame and plan on letting them get bigger before planting out. When they are too small it seems a slug just takes one bite  through the stem and that is the plant gone but we hope if they are bigger they might survive a bit of nibbling.

Even the uneaten ones aren't growing fast

Remains of a mange tout

The shallots and garlic are doing well (the onions less so for some reason)

 The potatoes are doing well

 The carrots less so - there seems to be one small one growing from about 200 seeds in 10 rows...
