You are definitely having a long extended spring, it seems like your tomatoes and peppers are holding up well to the wet weather.Phuonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658691564062044986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-90795964032950484232016-07-04T22:48:04.785+01:002016-07-04T22:48:04.785+01:00Our Robin Hood beans are just flowering - it will ...Our Robin Hood beans are just flowering - it will be interesting to see how many pods set.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-61162500021176843722016-07-04T21:43:39.659+01:002016-07-04T21:43:39.659+01:00That's too bad about the Robin Hood broad bean...That's too bad about the Robin Hood broad beans. I'm surprised since they actually produced quite well for me, well enough that I'm going to try them again next year. I did notice though that a lot of the first blossoms didn't set, so I suppose that my long mild winter/spring made the difference. I know what you mean about the peas, it's a good thing that I only ever needed to serve 2 people since my patch didn't produce an abundance until the end, then a couple of big harvests and then they were done. I tried a Greek cress this spring also and loved it. A similar cress that has those finely cut leaves is an Iraqi one named Rishad, it's equally as good as the Greek. Gorgeous lettuces, you harvested them at the peak of perfection.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-37096783115012483262016-07-04T17:03:50.917+01:002016-07-04T17:03:50.917+01:00The Greek cress sounds interesting.

I would have thought it was related to the heat, but considering your cool conditions, I suppose not.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-2459477846781983202016-07-04T15:22:43.791+01:002016-07-04T15:22:43.791+01:00I've never tried growing cress, though it soun...I've never tried growing cress, though it sounds like it would be a good addition to the salad bowl. Your lettuce looks great too.
