What's been chewing on our broad beans?


Something has been having a go at our broad beans! Whatever it is, its got sharp teeth...squirrels maybe?
Its been dry weather so Seamus and I have been mostly watering the lottie in the last few weeks. I've sown a couple more rows of peas, they're doing really well this year and you can't have too many gorgeous fresh peas.
The redcurrants are glowing a deep red, we've got some flowers on our french beans, the early potatoes look like they're nearly ready for the pot and we've got some teeny courgettes on one of our plants.
It all seems good. But a lot of our plants and veg seem to be lagging behind a little. We can't decide if its the lack of sun our plot gets or the compost we dug into the beds in spring...
Anyway, onwards and upwards, if we get the very hot summer we're being promised then the shade that creeps over our plot at about 2pm may save our veg from being scorched. Fingers crossed.
