I was given some lettuce plants, which I planted by the apples and raspberries. I also planted the first of my salad plants. They are from an Italian salad mix. You can see them in the second row behind the more compact lettuces.
In the photo below, you can see the salad leaves in their pots (under the radio). You can also see my brassicas (left of the picture), the apple mint (middle) and sweet peas (left). They have hardened off and should go in soon. I'm told that I should protect the brassicas, so I'll have to build a net over them. Luckily I found one in the shed clear-out.
There are blossoms on one of the apple cordons. I'm meant to take them off this year so that the plants concentrate on their growth, but I'll leave them on for a bit to enjoy.
The other fruit has put on more growth (cue another shot of the rhubarb). We've picked a lot of this and it's still going strong.
The quince is looking good, though the cuttings I took are looking a bit sorry for themselves.
Finally, the raspberries have started bushing out. They're not as tall as some of the others around the site, but they're only just in and look bushier than some.
