Weeds and not much else

I have just planted Beetroot that I grew at home since the seeds at the allotment just didn't grow, nor the carrots though they did get hoed! The broad beans are doing well, quite healthy. Also planted peas from B&Q these are petit pois.  The peas I planted directly are just coming up and look quite healthy, though smaller than the ones planted at home on window sill.  Only two of six actually grew.  Also 2 sugar snap peas in next to the broad beans.

Earlier in the week I planted courgettes - 8 plants in total, mixed types. However 3 were so small I am not very optimistic. I marked these with a ring of stones. I planted my runner beans against their wigwam, about 10 plants. The ones I grew on the window sill are a little wispy whilst those sown in a pot outside were much sturdier. 

Next to the broad beans I planted six cucumber plants, all look quite healthy. Then I planted 3 Butternut squash and six sad looking Autumn crown squash, marked weak ones with a ring of stone.  All of these I protect with a pet friendly slug pellets used sparingly. All lovingly watered in by R after he repaired the shed.  The hasp was broken off the shed but nothing was taken, nothing much to take!
