Through the wet cool weather of the past month and a half, many of the plants have done well, better than they had in the beginning of the spring. We realise now, though that there is not enough fertility in the soil, and the hard pan of stones about 20-25 cm below the surface is preventing the root systems to reach the nutrients further down in the soil.
The leaves are a wonderful array of colour, but some are showing signs of stunted growth - particularly the beetroot to the right.
The beans have done very poorly, which is not surprising given the unsuitable weather.
The Brussels Sprout plants, and the calabrese are doing reasonably well, but could probably use some more space.
