See this, it was almost weeded out today.  It might look a bit like a weed but it is in fact a lone fennel seedling spring from the ground.  This is one of the seeds I planted – out of a packet there are only about 5 little seedlings like this.

Boy the perils of weeding your vegetable patch if you don’t know what you’re doing.  MT is relieved as there is no way I’d allow him to weed.  He’s start taking out everything out on the grounds it would be less labour intensive that ferreting around between plants. 

Now is not the time to have strangers ferreting in your vegetable patch.  It’s all growing like crazy and to be honest it’s both exciting and intimidating in equal measure.  Look the broccoli are at it again.  Soon be time for menu planning with broccoli as the centre piece.

It’s going to be a wee while but the tomatoes are not far behind.  These are cherry tomatoes before start thinking they are a bit small!

Here’s some of the larger variety.  They are doing pretty well too.

And as if the prospect of fresh tomatoes wasn’t enough the peas are romping away.  Or at least the flowers are.

OK, the pea pods are showing too.

And just to prove my point.

I am so in love with my vegetable patch.  There’s so much going on.  I’m already planning what I’m going to cook.  In fact I’m already planning what I’m growing when we get the full kitchen garden constructive next year (or perhaps the year after).
