CUCUMBERS AND MORE TOMATOES OUT

Hi all,

I forgot to update when I put my other cucumbers out...anyway -all 6 are out now, each in a bucket and at the front I have popped a bush tomato. It seemed a shame not to make the most of the space, plus the tomato will hopefully provide some protection for the base of the cucumber.
Since I set them out we have quite a bit of rain -typical - luckily though I have them protected from the weather with a wind break of bubble wrap and some fleece -so, as of yet they seem to be doing fne -although Im going to set one more of each the minute they show signs of stress ;-)

The squashes seem to be doing ok too and the beans are making their way through!

I have popped out this morning -in between rain showers and popped some blue peas in at the base of the arches where the squashes are set..

I can't wait for the weather to brighten again so I can get out there -mind the combination of rain but warm humid days should bring things on nicely...
