Default busy today!!

Put out my potatoes, made up hanging baskets, put Red sunflowers into ground. Planted some cut and come again lettuce, spinach and radish.

Trying to look for things which can be grown to pick over winter. Any ideas please?

Also i got a Lemon tree which has 15 lemons currently coming on it!!

Oh yes i also got my grow bags!!! Ready for everything to go in oh my goodness and a bird feeding station which is fantastic.

How has everyone been today?

I have been picking: kale (curly and black); cabbage; PSB; pak choi; red mustard; chard; leeks; Rusty winter lettuce.

I had a superb day - OH is away, so I could stay out to play until gone teatime

Hi Sue

Snadger has a post somewhere on this forum about what to follow everything with for the winter; I think if you search for 'dual cropping' there is a good list that might help.

I'm going to use it, and substitute a few things that I don't like.
