Last Lettuce are now out.

Will be putting all Calabrese out on the next relevant days. These are going into the allotment as they are long term crops.

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...

Lottie: 3 pictures.

First as it came to us on April 1st.
Then after rotavation
Then after I spent a few hours putting weed fabric down.
I need to put a thinner path to the left hand side; then that's the paths all laid out.

I've started with putting shallots in the middle bed. And potatoes will start going in the beds nearest the camera tomorrow.
