I've sadly pulled up most of the dead and dying brassicas which succumbed to the cabbage root fly, and dug over the bed, so they were a total loss.
However, in spite of the dry weather (which still continues) the potatoes have done really well. Both the first and second earlies are good for scraping (rather than needing peeling) and cook beautifully, having a prefect texture. The carrots have so far escaped carrot fly, and are very flavoursome. The swede are great, and the onions are still OK, though there are not going to be any whoppers this year! Bean-wise, the runners are flowering well, and a few beans are set. We are actually having some light rain today, which will help them along. The broad beans look fine.
