    Wow, how fast are your veggies growing?!?!?! Jealous of the greens, mine always struggle on the allotment so am going to give them more love and attention this year. Are you going to post another update in 2 weeks time??

    Oh yes please more updates are required. :-D Those raised beds seem to be the ideal thing for all your plants as they certainly appear to be thriving.
