Planted out the pumpkins and last couple of courgette plants yesterday. Put in supports for the outdoor cucumbers and tied them in, they are about 6in high now. Had a look at the autumn planted garlic and it has started to bulb up so will start using it direct from the ground. Planted some early leeks, the plants were small but running out of pot space. Planted out a third row of dwarf french bean plants, still got one tub of plants to go in. Three rows of spuds have been planted to close together and I am having trouble earthing them up, had some empty tubs so cut bottoms off and put one on each plant on the middle row. As potatoes grow am earthing up the tubs with compost, this leaves a bit more room to earth up the two outside rows.
Recieved a free blueberry (Chandler) and a £10 voucher from T&M should have been 3 goji berry plants but they seem to have run out of them. Fortunatly I had bought 3 goji berry plants so was not to dissapointed. Potted on the blueberry. Tomatoes are just showing the first truss of flowers. Tomatillo also coming into flower.No sign of flowers on either the peppers or aubergines. Took the fleece off the brassicas and weeded and watered, put the fleece back over the cabbages but left it off the braccoli and calabrese. Seed sown onions seem to be growing better and bigger than the onion sets and will definitley be growing from seed again next year. Will be harvesting the last tub of potatoes sown just before Xmas, should be enough for at least two meals. Well worth the effort, will do an extra tub next year.
