Tidying up



Today was just a tidying up day, cutting the grass and ensuring the edges of the beds were re-cut and weed free. The harvesting of peas, French and Runner Beans continues.

Cats and the carrot bed



A cat has scratched the carrot bed twice and therefore I have covered it with plastic bag pieces to save the cat attacking the bed again and hopefully saving the rest of the carrot crop. Also, the bags will stop the birds on bed five as I have sown three rows of French dwarf beans. You can also see in the first photo where the grass is recovering from being covered during bed four's preparation. The second photo shows the Runner Beans now in full flower and healthy plants in beds one and two.

Bed preparation continues


Now that the shed is erected it's time to crack on with the beds while the weather is fine.
