GH No 1, mostly lettuce, rocket, chard, spinach, kale. Bijou mangetout in pots, Broad beans & sweetpeas on table, old onions and perennial leeks in mini-gh at back.
San Marzano toms hanging on!
GH No 2 Beetroot, carrots, self seeded lettuce, rocket and oriental leaves. Turnip greens.
GH No 4 - lean to. Strawberry runners, pinks, various scented geraniums and odd plants that should really be indoors. Orchids at far end..

I think Veggie's showing off.......... justifiably!
All I've got is a trough of very straggly peas, a pot of carrots nibbled by some unknown pest and a pot of chard, I think, as I've not been up the gh's in days.

JJB, Most of the green stuff is self seeded. The lettuce and chard are in the 3rd year. I'm lazy and don't weed much in the GH - most of the seedlings become edible!
The spinach has lots of holes and I'm finding caterpillar frass on the leaves - and a few curled up green caterpillars. Its all useful for feeding Mr Greedy in the corner of GH1. None of it stands up to close inspection.

Frass, that's a new word for me. Greens and caterpillars, both must be good chook food too. Nextdoor's chickens used to love chard.
