May catch-up

The usual spring gardening was interrupted by a holiday in England this year so I did not even try to grow anything from seed indoors.

Just before leaving  (?18 May) I took this photograph of the garlic bed. All coming along nicely.

And I sowed carrot and swede in the other deep bed.

  Napoli is new for me, it was in a plain brown packet, like the swede seed, so I presume it is quite popular here.

When I was clearing the bed I found lots of old carrots and parsnips (finally!) and used them to make soup :-)
