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. Its been a bit full of discarded items like pots and trays that need either recycling or disposal. I collected just a few too many to use!
Peppers getting a bit of greenfly and aubs whitefly so last resort sprayed with bug spray and moved marigolds in to the area to deter. Must take more notice when leaves distort as usually infestation building.
Would like to also get some more beans in, fill gaps in 2nd batch of peas, radishes, more spring onion as little come up in first lot. Need to find a slot for 2 courgettes given.
Slugs are appearing occaisionally but very much under control by nematodes as far as can see. One or two showed up in GH in last few days but probably due to not dosing all areas in there due to areas coverered by my junk pile.
My remaining sweet potatoes (2 of T65 and 6 of Beauregard) are going ok and probably need to be moved to next stage. First I want to rotavate a bit of sand and compost into top of soil where I plan to plant them as soil is a bit compacted now. This may happen tomorrow if weather holds up.
Basil germinated and would like 2nd batch of purple ones to go in.
