Cleared all the weeds around what remains of my parsnips. Only about half of the 30 or so that were planted have started to grow. That’s with planting sowing three seeds in each space. This happens every year despite my efforts.

Elsewhere, I planted out hte first runner beans and sowed some more French ones. Everything else is doing quite well, even my sick looking Swift potatoes appear to be recovering.

Thankfully the rain we have had recently saved me 25 minutes watering everything.
