Weekend Progress


Like I said, Bank Holiday weekend and lots to do. Unfortunately its like a monsoon outdoors today so lucky we did plenty yesterday! The main job was boxing in two new beds, one for the cauliflowers and broccoli which hopefully will come up towards winter, and the other has our sunflower competition starting, and will also be filled with summer salad things like lettuce and spinach.

The nice bit of the plot


PSB seedlings :)



Sunflower Seedlings starting off


Another important thing we have done is create a trellis type thing for the peas and cucumbers to be trained up. This was made from thrown away pieces of cable management from a company.


Addition

Forgot to say in the last post, the potatoes and onions have taken off as well and since there is no pics of them since they were tiny, here they are now!



And even more exciting, here is our first produce ever- small but tasted great :)

After the rain..

Well, it has rained a fair bit recently, and the plants seem to have loved it. I can't belive I haven't posted anything since the last, but here are the recent pics: New (nearly new) shed :)
Pea Flowers
Peas growing too tall for the sticks!
Pods at last!
Strawberry flowers

Bank holiday weekend now, and plenty of jobs still to do. Have loads of ideas but running out of space!! Can't wait for first eats from the plot
