Fruit & seedlings

Picked about 4lbs of strawberries. The raspberries are developing but only a few are starting to ripen; the redcurrants and gooseberries are close as well.



Sowed, weeded and watered. Forgot to get some more (organic) slug pellets; these need to be down before the next rain.

The first lettuce are nearly ready to have leaves picked; a mix of oak leaf and crinkly, red and green.

Many of the seeds are now coming through, although all are a bit late; runner beans, peas, mange tout, carrot, rocket, basil and radish.

Black plastic netting, tied up with string...

Clearing the weeds.

Mostly cleared the weeds now. There was so much to dig out that I need to pick up some more pallets to make an extra compost bin.

The potatoes are all in and the first earlies are starting to show through. Some seeds sown; lettuce, radish, peas and mange tout. Supports put up for beans and peas.

A new bird scarer on the shed; the birds still come on the plot but at least they don't perch on the shed.

Planting holes have been dug for the courgettes, these are back-filled with compost to provide food and moisture.

Still having to water each evening; the soil is very dusty and dry a long way down, it will be good to have some rain.
