The Green Roof on my shed has surpassed all my expectations even before any of the seeds have come into flower.

Their is so much colour and every day when I pop up to have a look something different has come into flower or the seeds are that bit further on.

It will be interesting from this point on to see how the plants cope with the drier weather, this might be the best that it will do, or if we have a little rain every now and then it will only get better.

My neighbours are loving it to and it causes quite a lot of comment from the ones that can see it.
The vegetable patch is also doing very nicely and it wont be long before the first veggies sampled. The radishes are growing by the minute and I reckon we will be eating them by next weekend.

I do seem to be suffering a little from sudden veggie death syndrome. After a bit of investigation I discovered it was leatherjackets who were destroying the vegetables by eating their roots. I don't know of any way to stop them at the moment and all I can do is be vigilant. If any one knows of a way to deal with them and would still allow me to eat the vegetables I would be grateful for the information.

Finally, whilst checking out the garden for slugs and other unwanted pests I did come across a bit of worm loving taking place at the foot of the vegetable patch.

I shall wish you all a good gardening day and enjoy those cold beers at the end of another lovely spring day.
