Cheers Vinny, yet my stuff is way behind a lot of the other plots! Still it's a marathon

Thanks DJ, yes I'm a lot more happier than I was a while ago

Planted 3 rhubarb plants in their permanent position yesterday.

A few days ago i had to dig up my 1 year old asparagus as the bed was a mess. Ive potted them for now with the intention of planting them in their permanent position once Ive picked the broad beans.

Below is a picture of the rhubarb I planted the other day.

Did about 1.5 hours this morning, now home for a drink.

Did some weeding, planted the asparagus, and found some mini squashes

What variety of squash is that? It looks a bit like the Harlequin we've got growing.

Hiya TMTT

Yes I think it's Harlequin

I have 3 mini varieties, Harlequin, Uchiki, and Table something!

Table Star? I've got two bush squash called Honey Bear in 50 L pots in the front garden, they're doing really well so far, they're about as big as a courgette plant. The Harlequins are interplanted with sweetcorn in a raised bed, also doing really well.

My cousin was visiting and he helped me move the two planters below into position. I plan to use them upside down and use the legs to support netting where required.

We moved a third planter to near where I want it for next year and carried the forth home to use in the back yard.

Making things easy to cover and net is a big goal for me for next year. Looks like a good setup.

Looks a brilliant idea Danny.
