Went to plot today, as I do most days! Lifted a bed of onions then tipped a bag of grass clippings over bed to act as a mulch until I decide what to put in it? Probably brassicas of some description?
The toms were looking very bedraggled as it had been about three days since I visited! I gave them a good watering and think they should pick up ok. I also watered the Gigantes beans which it was nice to see had some bees working the flowers!
Cut myself a cabbage, cuting a cross in the stem to see if I can get a few small cabbage heads growing which are just a nice size for a meal for one.
The dwarf Frenchies are now in full growth and I gathered a tray full of beans.
The courgettes are doing well, both green and yellow and I gathered what was available before they grew massive and turned into marows!
Tried to add an attachment but got an error message saying 'Site could not be reached'?
After doing a bit of hand weeding and sowed a row of spinach I set off for home with my spoils from the plot!
Not a bad haul for today and I could have had added lettuce, garlic and broad beans, but left them for another day. Onion bhaji's here I come!
