June update

Finally the weather has picked up a bit. It has been very dry and I think it is time to give the beds a good soaking so I'll be doing that later. These photos were taken on the 20th.
Since then I have transplanted the strawberry plants which I grew from seed. Today I staked the broadbeans better. The two types are completely different, one is in full flower and the other has no flowers at all yet.
There have been a lot of green insects on the onions. I sprayed with some soap solution and they have at least reduced in number. The carrots are growing rather slowly, but perhaps no worse than last year, hard to be sure.
