(Nearly) everything is growing

"Orla" potatoes are growing really fast. "Premiere" and "Arran Pilot", planted a couple of weeks later are just showing above ground level.

Summer cabbages "Minicole" and "Marner Fruhrot" moved from root trainers into the ground last week. Slugs have made a bit of an impact, but most plants have survived.

The onion sets planted in the autumn are making bulbs now, and the shallots I planted a few weeks ago to fill in the gaps have all got a healthy head of foliage.
