Mange Tout is the only French I know!!!

I have tried growing pea's this year and Mange Tout variety called Bijou and I am very impressed with them. They have grown quickly and are producing an abundance of crop. I have never grown this before and planted approx 8 seedlings in a large pot. As you can see below lots of pea's

I purchased a blackcurrant bush earlier on this year from Lidl. well a barerooted stick would describe it more appropriately. The plant is growing well and I have high hopes of getting blackcurrants next year. The variety is "Ojebyn"

The next fruit bush that is growing nicely, is my blueberry bush variety "Goldtraube" It was purchased as a half dead just growing plant from Wilkinsons and it is coming along in leaps and bounds. I dont think it will make a large enough size to fruit next year but who knows. Watch this space.

Weather here in Wakefield, England today has been pleasant, bright and sunny with the occassional showers.

The Bushes are getting bigger

The blackcurrant bush I bought last month is growing very nicely indeed and shows lots of signs of life. The variety is "Ojebyn". It was little more than a stick when purchased with some small whitish buds on it and that was all

The redcurrants "Jonkheer van tets" are fattening up and I am just waiting for a little colour in them now

I had a bucket in the greenhouse and a potato leaf sprouted earlier on in the year, so I left it and it is now outside. I have no idea what variety it is but it is doing very well. Fingers crossed for some spuds.

Weather report - Windy and a little rain but mainly dry, Wakefield, England
