But it's the cold that's having a significant effect on all the plants and we are probably almost a month behind where we should be at this time of year. On the plus side the weeds aren't growing either.
We can't say the same for the bugs though, they're still thriving. We have a severe infestation of sawfly on the gooseberries in the top cage.
Strangely, the gooseberry plant just three feet away is completely untouched.
On the plus side, thanks to all the wet weather, the two bottom beds that are traditionally like a desert, are thriving.
We harvested what was left of the winter parsnip's and they looked okay.
We also picked some rhubarb and asparagus that looked good.
This persistent rain has also done the flowers by the seating area a lot of good.
We also finally got round to digging up the "woody" rosemary by the water butt.
