What are you planting in the veggie garden at this point in time?

today i put in some little lettuces i haven't managed to kill yet
(they
should be dead by tomorrow ;-).

No doubt the heatwave will do them in nicely - my newly planted peas
are heading the same way despite being covered.

and some leeks shortly (as replacements * ).
i was going to put in more carrots shortly too, hopefully with
spring onions
as i haven't any ordinary onion seed i am supposed to plant atm.
(but my
last lot of spring onions has completely failed to come up at all,
so i
don't know.) also today i planted more radish seeds and more pea
seeds,
seeing as how i have turned into a pea champion overnight from my
prior
status as complete pea dud. i was going to put in my celery
seedlings too,
but i didn't get to that. i was going to put parsnips with them,
except i
haven't looked to see if it's too late for parsnips,

There is still time for them to go in. I just love fresh parsnips -
so different to the ghastly things from the shps. I wouldn't mind
betting that very few people have ever really had a good fresh parsnip
given the appallling press they get.

so i don't know about
that either. if it is, more carrots :-) and maybe some beans
somewhere too.
i love beans & they've been awful so far, but are fiiiinally coming
on -
which tells me to plant more of them so i can gorge myself on beans
before
the first frost & thereafter go beanless until this time next year
(sigh).
kylie who doesn't like shop beans because they mostly sell the round
ones -
too big & tough.
* speaking of jackie french and my wrong attitude to weeds - even
though i
know better, because i've done it before (sigh), that was me last
week
pulling out the "grass" that was growing in the baby leek bed. OH
NO.

:-))
