Back again. Having been to the plot I actually managed to get everything on my list completed for once.
The greenhouse was so hot after planting and tying up the canes for each tomato plant I had to keep stepping outside to cool down. 10 tomatoes planted and caned down one side of the greenhouse.
28 leeks planted
3 courgettes planted out with a pane of perspex set in the ground to the windward side of each. Last year they got battered with the wind so this should help.
6 Bruusel sprouts planted in compacted soil (damp underneath)
Lots of hand weeding throwing a mixture of weeds and cardboard into my runner bean trenches. Once I cut my grass at home the cuttings can go in the trenches and all covered over with soil. The runner beans are going berserk indoors and are desperate to be planted ou, even trying to escape through the roof vent!!!
