The smell of new carpets and a pot of coffee
 

Makes all the difference, the coffee and other nice odours, now we are
slowly moving back into our once damp hellhole during the flooding we had.

The garden is a bloody mess, the lawns look like they sucked a lemon.

The potato patch is looking ok I think now it has been mulched. The beans
are nacked, so are the peas. Well not totaly. There are signs again.
Nothing to get excited about.
My daughter in law sowed some carrots for me in cardboard bog rolls which
are showing now so they will be going into the ground as soon as possible.

So, potatoes and carrots is the diet for the future until I can figure out
how I am going to tackle this mess.

Best wishes to all.

You've still time to sow french and riunner beans and peas. If the soil is still soggy, grow them in pots for a while.

I know it's not much consolation but maybe this is the year you could try all those interesting oriental veg that can't be sown until the days start to shorten again?

You could try rice. :-)

Good call, I like fresh pak choi, although I've never been amazingly successful
with it.

To add to your list above, still time to sow broad beans for a late crop, and
pumpkins, and possibly courgettes. And radish and lettuce + stuff like that,
if you are so inclined. (probably loads more)
