Didnt get to the plot until 2pm yesterday, as Miss D wouldnt get out of bed after a late night chatting with friends, (I swear I am going to remove the modem from the 'puter at nights!), so I spent the morning planting up the growbags in the back yard greenhouse, 10 more toms and a watermelon and a normal melon now growing away happily!
When we finally got to the plot I rotovated 2 beds and got them ready for planting, cut cardboard to fit and then planted 190 leeks thru cardboard in one of the beds, then watered everything! Miss D did a fantastic plan of the new plot, before finsing the heat too much and deciding that she'd be cooler sat inside the MINI with the radio on! (no aircon and no fans on, so it was even hotter than outside, I think she will learn one day! lol!)
Plans today are to get the final bed of sweetcorn and squashes in, plant up a bed of carrots, parsnips and turnips and hopefully move a bed of brassicas from our first plot into the new plot, in readiness for laying some more cross paths into the largest beds on our first plot (so its more like the new plot!) |
