It has been raining practically every day in the last week, some days, the fog was so thick, I couldn't see the end of garden. Today, the skies have cleared and it is time to pay a visit to the plants.First up, is the peas ...surprise, surprise....there be flowers! It was a pleasant surprise as I was expecting the plants to grow bigger before showing any signs of flowering.

Next, a quick visit to the leafy vegs, there all seem to be surviving well enough. But it looks like a spot weeding may be required. Featured below is the curly Kale.

Then a quick stop, to check on the berries. The gooseberry bush is as bushy as ever but still no signs of any buds/flowers. Same with the blueberry bush though it was less bushy, I do wonder if I will ever get any fruit off it as it has been two years and still nothing. Then on to some goods news, the raspberry canes have been flowering for a few weeks now and some fruits are starting to form...yay!

Last on this update are the herbs,the thyme is flowering I think I'm not suppose to allow it flower though, something about degrading the taste. The oregano has been put to good use lately and new growth is showing. The mint is also starting to turn a lovely fresh green, it seems to produce dark purplish leaves over the winter.
