Re: The Veg Plot.
I have leeks too Trevor, forgot to mention them in the post above. I started them off in a seed tray and then dibbed them into a bed. They just took off as soon as I put them in the ground.
Some pictures of the veg plot as it is this evening. Lettuce, climbing courgette, tomato, trailing courgettes (yellow and green), sweetcorn. Cosmos, dahlia, rudbeckia, marigolds, more tomatoes, butternut squash. View of the front plot from by the front door. Spuds. Runner and climbing French beans. Couple of cabbages which sat and did nothing last year and are now hearting up nicely. I harvested a huge, third one the day before yesterday. Leeks just behind the cabbages and garlic just about ready to harvest behind them. Carrots, parsnip, beetroot, radishes, and more lettuce. Onions almost ready to lift. Greenhouse full of tomatoes, cucumbers, cape gooseberries, aubergines, bell, and chilli peppers. Brussels and purple sprouting. I need to raise the mesh. Dwarf French beans and rainbow chard just about ready to plant out. Started lining out the area for the workshop. Just installed the two linked 100ltr water butts off the roof downpipe. In yesterdays heavy downpour it took less than an hour to three quarters fill both of them. Last edited by garynortheast; 22-07-24 at 09:22 PM. |

Re: The Veg Plot.
Went out to lift the last of the second earlies and got a right soaking! Still, a decent crop in the end.
Had about two or three times this number altogether. Every time I went outside it rained. Second time was putting in the dwarf French beans.... And again when I planted out the chard where the spuds had been. |

Re: The Veg Plot.
First meal with this year's runner beans tonight. Yay. It will also have some of last year's pumpkin in it from one of the now dwindling batches left in the freezer.
