Have planted out both my broad beans (looked a little leggy after a bit too long in pots) and courgettes (with bottles as protective cloches) and we'll see how they will do. Have also planted another double row of broad beans seeds in ground for a later crop.
Planted another row of carrots in the carrot and parsnip bed along with a row of spring onions to keep carrot fly away. Radishes I planted with parsnips are growing well. Some Strawberries flowering and need to earth up early potatoes for more growth. Also spent this evening tidying up the plot a bit, working out how best to make it look better - will put some photos up soon.
Yesterday also spent sometime in the back garden / yard. Have done a fair amount of tidying and planting some salad and herbs, also some sunflower, sweat-peas and marigolds (my son liked the look of the seeds!!)
Some more seeds planted in pots. First set of runner beans done, some more courgettes, squash (as last only 2 have sprouted) and some pumpkin seeds saved from last year. Also some peas as still need to rotavate where they will go (ground still dry - need rain)
Thats about it really - onions have all sprouted well, and fruit canes and bushes looking good. Need to use old tent poles and netting to protect them. Will hopefully spend a fair bit of next few days down there, and will update with a plan and some photos soon.
Edited to add list of seeds sowed...
- 18 Runner Beans
- 10 Pumpkins
- 12 Courgette
- 12 Pea
