I am planting out all the moon trial veg now. Today, it is a NO PLANT day - so to take advantage of this I am planting out all the non-moon veg. The moon veg will be planted out over the next 9 days on its correct day.

I have taken a photo of all the veg this morning. The moon veg are on the right hand side and the non-moon are on the left.

Differences so far:
moon toms have overtaken in height the non-moon
lettuce and onions - no difference at all...

Wish they had let me have my plot last Autumn then I might have cleared more of it before the grass, weeds, and brambles took off this Spring.

The part of the plot I've managed to clear is doing quite well with two lots of potatoes growing, shallotts, peas, beans, salad and a few carrots but the uncleared part is having a ' field day'.

I've never had very green fingers, infact i was convinced they...

Still a bit slow on my legs and starting a new job has meant hard to keep up with all jobs required.
Lots of rain has meant everything well watered but slowing without sun or warmth - fortunately. Grass around the plots has become 6" deep and looking forward to someone being able to mow it.
Would like to clear out the GH to get more grobags in and plant up with peppers/chilli and aubs. Also to get shade curtains up and outside painted to limit heat build up which is still a problem....

Hens.
The hens are bigger with shinier feathers, fluffier bottoms and much pinker faces. No eggs yet. Fiona has become Annabelle, suits her more. Characters developing hugely. Almost two weeks ago we spent the morning building a bigger run that their hen house opens out too. hens very happy and busy. They now put themselves to bed, just before we go out and close hatches for the night.

Garden.
Have started clearing bottom of the garden, is shared with our lovely neighbours...
