Had a relatively productive day yesterday given the gloomy weather. Sowed some more baby spinach as the slugs had helped themselves to the majority of my last lot. Also sowed some kohl rabi as the first lot never germinated - not really giving off vibes of success here am I????

Sowed the following into tubs: chantenay carrots, white lisbon spring onions, sugar snap peas (to replace the ones that never germinated or where devoured by mice) and normal peas for their tips. I also sowed some more salad leaves as my first sowing didn't seem to like the cold then the extreme heat and are now a bit weedy and just asking to be pulled up.

I planted out a spaghetti squash in the hope he will trail all over the fruit bed and rockery and a courgette 'tricolour' (although this is false advertising I'm sure as they have all been yellow so far!) in the hope that he may climb up a frame. Not sure if he will but the way he has grown makes me think he could give it a go.

Decided to leave the rest of my squash and courgettes in their tubs as the chicken manure on the soil needs to wash in a bit more and there is no hurry.
