What happened while I was away?

I left the garden with my Mum for one week (while I sauntered off on holiday) and got back to find that my garden has seemingly been taken over by swedes! In one week they have at least doubled in size and overshadowed all the plants on either side of them. Some further thinning is definitely needed - and I need to start looking for friends who like swede. Being the only swede fan in the house, I know I just can't get through that many this year.

It's not just the swede though, I also have strawberries (evidently well-scrumped by my Mum though), blueberries, new potatoes, rocket, mega broad beans and goodness knows what else. Was it the 'watch-pot that never boiled' situation before I went away - or does my mum have super-magic green-finger powers? I know June is getting into peak season, but this turn-around was mega. I now have an abundance of goodies. Yum-yum.
