Picking Up the Plot

We have finally finished planting and sowing, basically because we haven't got any more room! Now it's going to be harvesting. Yesterday, according to the Vegetable Expert, was the last day for planting leeks so we have planted a bed and squeezed another row in next to the onions. We have also sown two more rows of cos lettuce in one of the squares as we had to take up the Little Gems which we had planted too close together and hadn't been able to use before the slugs ate 'em.The peas finally appeared after six attempts and we have had a few in salads which has been great. Plum was so impressed with our Mange Tout and Sugar Snaps, that she has got all enthused about the Mediterranean diet because it is supposed to be really good for you and uses all the vegetables we have been growing and keeps you slim! So off she went to the library for a book called Truly Italian, so we are going to be having, apparently, Contorno followed by Insalata: are we going green or what?
But, very finally, we have done the last item on our 'to do' list, we've painted our picnic table which has been waiting since March when we first opened up the shed again. All we need now is some more sunshine and a picnic and no more 'to do's'
