Got some hail earlier today, enough to cover the ground in white stuff. It melted fast, and apart from some holes in the larger leaves, it doesn't look like it has substantially hurt the plants.
Most of the carrots are harvested, I think I will pull up the rest too. They could probably grow larger, but they are good enough. I want to see how many crops we have time for here, so the new carrots and lettuce has been planted.
The beans and cucumber have quite yellow leaves, and are growing quite slowly. The peas and potatoes in the same/neighboring beds are happy. I think it could be the soil, i suspect there is quite a lot of immature compost/manure in it, so they are getting burned. Or maybe it got too hot and dry? We'll see if they bounce back.
Several of the berries are ripening, I'm picking a few yellow raspberries daily, and the red currants are getting more colour by the day. Unfortunately, what I bought as a white currant is also turning red. Guess it was mislabeled. The black currants probably need to go, they are very old and only have a few berries. I was considering cutting them down and getting fresh shoots from the root, but it turns out the taste isn't very good. The neighbour has a couple of cherry trees where the branches are reaching into our garden. I went over to tell him they were ripe, and he told me to eat as much as we want.
