I finally appear to have some carrots showing through, to add to the beetroot and onions.

I spent a fair bit of the weekend getting my first load of beans & peas planted out up canes. Still have a few to do. Re-potted a few toms too. And I planted some spring onion seeds.

I planted some pepper seeds (just to try it out) a few weeks ago, & have not had anything sprout there.


Hope you enjoyed your break MrBE.

Update time:

Bees like chives:



So much so that this one didn't let go while I carried them to the shed, repotted them and carried them back again.

Greenhouse stuff(ed):



Tomatoes, chillies, cauliflower, sunflowers, cucumber, gherkins, marigolds, beetroot in modules.

The buddleia appears to have recovered, and is growing again:



The lavender on the left



is a bit poorly as it's been munched by something and I've had to cut lots of dead bits back.

That's alot of tomatoes for a single bloke! You'll be giving them to everyone, hopefully............

Runner beans (by fence), turnips, beetroot and spring onions:



Beetroot didn't germinate very well, so replacing with module-sown plants (under the bottles). Spring onions don't seem to be going too well either. Turnips got dug up by fox, and resown, so there's too many of them. I've thinned loads out today.

Onion sets are doing better than I expected:



Now I've got to find room to plant them out somewhere. That might not be easy - they could end up spread about a bit.

I'm only keeping 19 plants. Most of them will have to be outside too, so I expect less fruit from them.

Swede, onions, parsnips, more swede, runner beans, leeks, bit of space for French beans if they germinate:



Sunflowers and a few radishes in the corner:
