Another couple of hours at the plot today. Plan was to sort out the greenhouse but after a short while I realised it was far too hot to be inside so amended plan.
Decided to weed the 'buttercup border. Half of it had leeks in it, the majority of which had seeded so I pulled them all out with the weeds. The othe half had garlic and shallots in it so I had to be a bit more careful when weeding around them. Once I had pulled out the thick of the weeds I realised that the last two years tidy up had left the border in decent nick. The plan is to plant it up with brassicas once they are ready.
I wodered why my seedlings were growing slowly then I realised the pigeons had been munching them. They are now covered with mesh so should perk up a bit.
I also covered my carrots with enviromesh so I'll keep my fingers crossed that I wasn't too late.
Next job will be to plant out my cougettes and pumpkins, which shouldn't be an issue as the beds are prepared for them. I have leeks ready for planting in final positions as well so might get those in on next visit.
