Brassica's planted out.

Today has seen the transplanting, of cabbage, cauliflower and sprouts and the construction of cages to keep those cabbage butterflies off!.....and more netting on the peas!

 

The plot is taking shape.

The growing season is well under way with Broad Beans, Peas,1st & 2nd early and main crop potatoes showing well. The onion bed looks good and the Brassica nursery bed is ready for planting out into beds 1, 2 & 3. We have also sown the first wigwam of Runner beans and the first row of French beans with spring onions, elephant garlic whilst, Sweetcorn, carrots, parsnips and turnips are all doing well in tubs. In front of the shed we now have ripening strawberries and outdoor tomatoes.

Another bed completed

Bed 10 is now open and ready for sowing of French beans.

Up goes the fence

A week's holiday last week has seen us erect a fence.

The fence erected.

What a lovely view!!!

New beds

One new bed completed and another one started.

Pressing on!!

We are trying this year wth carrots, parsnips and turnips in tubs in an effort to free up space.






We've started another new bed for Sweetcorn.

May Day 2010!!

The Nursery bed is producing seedlings as the first two weeks it was under fleece to get the bed off to a good start.




We have planted some strawberry plants in a growbag by the shed as the fruit beds are not ready yet.





We have spent today tidying and cutting the grass.
