We spent a good 3 hours down the plot this afternoon, most of it in the pouring rain, but got a fair bit done!
Miss D gave the pond some more attention, by removing some more of the weeds and water plants, as since they were last cut back in March they've gone bezerk and you cant even see the water, looks much better now!
Everything in the Greenhouse was weeded and fed n watered, and a bit of weeding done on the plot!
We planted out 27 Lark and 39 ovation sweetcorns into their 3 sisters beds, along with 5 each of mars pumpkin and carnival squash, the beds being a good 50' apart to help with preventing cross pollination of the sweetcorn.
Also planted out 47 Mini D'or Dwarf french beans into their final bed, and 27 Royal Red dwarf french bean. again the beds are a good distance apart to prevent x-pollination!
The rondo peas, victorian purple podded peas and carlin peas, plus the mange tout we planted out about 10 days ago have started to come through, as has the rest of the turnips!
Most of the brassicas appear to be doing well, think we've lost 2 cabbages so far, and the late garlic and onion sets we planted out 2 weeks ago seem to be growing nicely! But there's still plenty more to plant and grow, and a long way to go till harvest yet!! |
