Lefty tighty. Get it righty.
So this year I've decided not to do courgettes, which take over all of my small veg patch. I went a bit mad in the garden centre and bought some seedlings. Unplanned and in retrospect, not really well thought out.
Lettuces (slugs will probably eat them); carrots (wtf? If they don't die they will hate my heavy clay soil); Leeks (maybe OK); radishes - they should be good, they are easy.
I grew jerusalem artichokes last year on the other side of the veg patch and they grew ENORMOUS. I also got a lot of nice tubers off them. But I'm going for sunflowers in that patch this year, although I'm expecting a whole load of jerusalem artichokes to come up.
Should be first harvestable year for my rhubarb (planted autumn '24) but it's not looking great. One of the plants bolted spectacularly about a month ago. I cut it off when I noticed. There are some stalks that I may be able to harvest soon. I'll go easy on it harvest-wise.
Plus various peppers, and little yellow salad tomatoes called "gold nugget" that have done well in the past.

Had a delivery of plants yesterday from Edulis nursery;
Fillipendula (red leaved ones),Cardamine (green ones) and Zingiber (ginger-the spiky ones).
Also did some labels for the above and other plants as it will hopefully mean I won't accidentally dig anything up at some point
