The potatoes have more than tripled in size and show no sign that they are planning to stop.
The tomatoes likewise, some of them even are starting to flower. We needed a storm though to remind us, that tomatoes only survive when staked. We lost a couple, maybe three really good looking plants, they were bent by the wind like a toy.
Our beans are starting to shoot up too. The marjoram in the background has been there for a while, we've missed out transplanting it and now it will just stay where it is. It seems to really like the soil.
This little thing is a watermelon plant. It is absolutely tiny and to keep the soil moist (melons don't like dry soil) and warm we have mulched it with Hay. It is only growing it's third leaf and already decides it is time for a flower. Let's see how this goes - I'm not complaining. :-)
Due to the warm long days most our herbs have started to flower. Last week I posted a piccie from our time, here is the parsley, which also has beautiful yellow flowers.
Not everything has just started to grow, some things also are finishing at the moment. Our small and early harvest garlic varieties for instance. They have a nice red skin and smell delicious, I'm sure it won't take long until we start cooking with them.
Okay, I admit, this is not a plant, and yes I am a cat fanatic who continuously has to post cat pictures. BUT - how can you resist? These creatures are amazing, and I love them so much. This is Max in his self-chosen night spot on the top of the wardrobe. Whenever someone walks past he can't resist the urge to see who it is:
