The broad beans are showing shoots. I am pleasantly surprised at how quickly they have shown, as it has not been all that warm, except for the odd day. I will cloche these when they are all showing.
The Kale and some cabbages are looking quite good. I did a little digging and cleared the fruit patch again and some general tidying. Removed yellowing leaves from the brassicas and plastic which had blown onto my plot.
It is so quiet on the site on autumn weekdays. None of the summer tumult from the surrounding gardens and houses. The only thing to break the silence was a greenfinch calling from atop a bush. The milky sunshine and smell of bonfires in the air is most agreeable.
