I need to do these over the next few weeks; pot on some broccoli seedlings, they’re in a seed tray. Plant out sweetcorn, runner beans, squash & courgette. Plant out tomatoes, basil, peppers, cucumbers, melons, geraniums, marigolds, sunflowers & petunias. Sow peas & spring onions haven’t sown any yet & sow more beans, carrots, parsley, maybe more potatoes if there’s space…Location : Essex

This weekend I need to plant out the chillies, some more leeks, remaining courgettes and brassicas, and find a home for the remaining 2 tomato seedlings.
Sow some dwarf beans and beetroot which I keep forgetting - seeds have been in my bag for weeks.
Weeding between the onions and lettuce.Last edited by MelanieSW; 30-05-2025, 07:44 AM.Location: London

Last years runner beans are coming up in my red onion area,i need to remove some of the onions that bolted last week & put a teepee near those beans. Then plant all the sweetcorn around that teepee & some more bean plants around them & a couple of squash in some gaps,hopefully do that tomorrow
