What I Did Today (Undercover)

[SarzWix]

I hoed the green cap off the soil that had developed around my alliums...

Oh! I'm so glad this isn't just in my tunnel! I was quite worried about it, thought it was just my poor soil

P'haps we need an undercover expert .......

I'd love that Paul Peacock, or Mark Gatter, or Andy McKee please

I thought I'd start this thread as a supplement to the main What I Did Today thread, specifically for growing undercover in a polytunnel or greenhouse, as the sowing and planting seasons are slightly different for plants being grown undercover, particularly at the start and end of the season.

As a newcomer to the world of polytunnel growing, I'm still following the books for what to do when, so I know I'd benefit from more experienced growers' wisdom on what to do when...

Me too Sarz - I hoed the green cap off the soil that had developed around my alliums (sounds so rude), watered a lot (I tend to soak once a week in this cold weather. Contemplating sowing a few parsnip seeds in there as I majorly fail on the lotty. I deleafed some celeriac, pulled some up for soup. Radish seedlings, sown direct, are through. Contemplating peas in gutter. Also strawberries in pots in there.
i have also sown early carrots in the coldframe in there but nothing showing as yet.

So, what I did today:

I weeded round the onions, cabbages and calabrese that are taking up 2 beds, and spread manure on about half of the beds.

Sowed tomatoes, broad beans, and hardy salad leaves.

Contemplated which bed to try an early sowing of carrots in; still haven't decided!
