Not much really! The pigeons have eaten all the tiny little purple sprouting broccoli plants (all 4 of them that actually germinated!). There are some tiny green shoots that will be everlasting spinach, bok choi and chard if the foxes and the pigeons give them a chance. There appear to be about 5 beetroot plants - just enough for one salad. However the courgettes and doing well. Not to the point of actually producing a courgette, but on the cusp! On the cusp!
The good news is that Gill has discovered the tap for the standpipe near the vegetable plot, hidden deep in the leaf mould that has raised the level of the path over the years, so now it isn't so far to carry the water.
I'm going to try and plant some seeds in my newly erected cold frame and try to beat the vermin by putting in some decent sized plants. We will not be beaten!
