New bits in

Purple sprotting plants have now been put out, some where the potatos were, and some when there onions were.

I think I've probably spread the brassicas out too much...

Also, put out some more chard, a few more pak choi, and some lettuce, and put a few more seeds in - some salad leaves, a few carrots and radishes.

It's been really sunny for the last few days, had to do quite a bit of watering.

Here's a picture of today's haul

Here's a picture of today's haul!

From left to right - chard, mixed salad, kale, cabbage, perpetual spinach, squash, courgette, pak choi.

We've started to get way to much squash...

Pak Choi has bolted again, but bigger this time. Probably time to give up again.

We planted out a few more bits, some italian climbing beans, lettuce, pak choi and chard. Also sowed some more seeds - mixed salad, carrots (won't grow), radish and beetroot. These are where the onions used to be.

Also, planted out the purple sprouting - most of this is where the potatoes used to be.

But not all weeds...

Just in case the picture in the last post made it all look like weeks, here's actual plants (and my scarecrow). OK, so it's not exactly neat and tidy, but lots of squashes, mixed in with sweetcorn, and a few cabbage at the back.

Lots of food and weeds

We've had loads over the last couple of weeks - lots of potatoes dug up two rows of charlottes, squash, cabbage, chard, perputal spinach, a few peas and beans. Almost too much to eat really.

I took the onions up today, as the leaves had started to wilt again (same thing happened last year). Not a problem, so long as you get them up before the rot gets down too far.

The picture to the right sort of shows what I mean, if you can see the onions from the weeds! I've said before I've got a bit of a horse tail and couch grass problem! Doesn't stop things growing though. Here's the onions when I pulled them up...

I'm not sure that you can see, but that's LOTS!

Bigger Courgettes and cancelled veg box

Courgettes are now growing to full size, which is good.

Don't seem to have any butternut squashes though for some reason (I lost the labels on my squash plants),

I've cancelled the veg box delivery for a whole now, as I'm getting enough from the allotment (sorry, Riverford).

Oh, I've cheated a bit and bought a few cabbage and lettuce plants from the Potting Shed up the road - the slugs keep attacking my greenhouse.

It's been tipping down with rain all day (which means more slugs...). I'd hoped to be able to clear a little space to plant my purple sprouting.
