RE: 2022 - What I did today - Small chilli - 24-06-2022
Sown seeds. Tied up yin yang beans. They seem to be growing bigger than I expected. Dug a hole filled it with well rotted manure then planted the mystery squash/ courgette plant in the middle. Then made a little barrier with copper pipe & wire. Hopefully this will protect him until he’s bigger.

Planted some crazy mixed up mangetout grown from saved seeds of various height M/T. They're next to the Bijou to give them something to aim for.
Also planted 6 Giant Bolivian Achocha nearby. Goodness knows what these will be like. My previous attempts at achocha have not been very positive. Not even sure I know how to eat/cook them!

Found two imposters in the row of DFBs, they had designs on being CFBs, no idea how they got mixed up. So dug the two miscreants up and replanted them near some support. Also found some forgotten yang yang beans hiding in a very small pot, so planted these out in an out of the way place.

Tied in cucumbers and melons.
Planted sweetcorn, zinnias, beetroot, parsley, coriander.
Spent ages trying to find the hole in the hedge where the deer are getting in. I can tolerate the leaves being stripped from an apple, but my albizia is dying because the bark has been eaten, as have ALL the ripe strawberries!

I watched a blackbird steal a huge strawberry from my plot.The strawberry was so big the blackbird couldn't lift it to fly so it just ran down the path straddle legged with it in it's beek!

Fed Tom's, cucs and courgettes with comfrey.

Some of my raspberries were yellowing in my alkaline soil so found an ancient packet of sequestrene in the shed and mixed that with some ericaceous feed, hope they appreciate it, especially at the price of sequestered iron stuff. Looked at replacing the sequestrene but I'm having second thoughts.

It's a bit warm today, so every time I get out into the garden, I seem to be driven back within half an hour.
I've done some weeding, and started planting out lots of things that should have been in the ground over a month ago. Ah well - can only do what you can do. Bit worried I May have ruined my tomato harvest by letting them get a bit potbound. I have some beautiful looking tomatoes coming on some plants, but just a tiny fraction of what could have been if they'd been planted out/in bigger containers. Not sure if any of the ones that have already set fruit will flower again or if the few tomatoes already there will be allI get.

Okay, I've looked them up and most of them seem to be indeterminate, so hopefully they will flower some more.

Quite a cool and breezy day for me. I direct sowed Yin Yang dwarf beans for shelling. Potted up the sage cuttings I took the other week. Sowed the 25p wallflower seeds I got from Wilko..
