I returned from Sweden to find an epic battle between the peas and the horseradish, each vying for supremacy in the garden. The peas with their constricting vines try to crush the life from the horseradish, while the spicy root has responded by growing broad fan like leaves to block out the precious sunlight.
The peas have also sprouted pods which get plumper by the day. I take this as a sign they are confident in their victory.
It was also amazing to see how many giant weeds had sprouted in my absence. The green onions are all but decimated after they were eclipsed by a particularly large weed.
Peas and horseradish do battle as the lettuce and pansies bear silent witness to the fury.
