Back at plot for a couple of hours today. I sowed the spring cabbage a few days ago so shoud be popping up soon
. Strange that my sprng cabbage are just maturing now as I am sowing for next years crop.
Took my hedge shears with me and after eating the few strawberries that were left I gave them a hair cut taking off all the foliage. This is supposed to envigorate them and they will produce useable runners to save. Whilst i had the hedge shears I gave my leaf celery and a single psb a hair cut as well.![Rolleyes Rolleyes](https://gardenandgossip.org/images/smilies/rolleyes.png)
I watered greenhouse tomatoes and Gigantes beans with a few other plants receiving water from my IBC tank. Because water is precious I now only water stuff soon after transplanting but once they are established I stop watering.
I harvested two bushes worth of gooseberries leaving one green and one red still to harvest. Broad beans were ready so I got a boiling of those. The same with the first of my courgettes (took 5). I know I am a bit late but now they have started fruiting they should produce well.
The blue debri netting I put over my spring cabbage has done the trick of keeping the pigeons off it but as an added bonus has kept the cabbage white butterflies off them as well. I harvested one nice cabbage and put a cross in stem so it will keep cropping.
I fear the next glut will be the three different types of Frenchies which are in full flower now.
Onions are keeling over now and will soon be harvested as well.
