I thought I would do a photographic update this week rather than a video update, just as something a little different, I am pleased witht he progress, everything apart from the dwarf french beans are coming along well. I may plant some in pots back here at home and see if they can establish themselves before I plant them out. I suspect that pigeons are getting them as I saw one sprouting but now nothing.
Anyway here are the photographs, each annotated with a few comments.
