2024 - What I did today

Dead headed the cottage garden. Picked some flowers. Decided where the samphire is growing next year. In a fish box between the  bath and the permanent exotic fruit bed. Decided against a whole bed of it because that’s a lot of trips to the beach to collect seawater.

Could you make up some "sea water" using seaweed in a tub of rainwater - maybe with some sea salt?

Quite possibly. But I was also concerned about the amount of seawater/salt water run off seeping into other bed and harming other crops. As it’s a long term crop. Concerned about the salt buildup. So I’ve compromised with a fish box full rather than a bed full. Which I think will be a sufficient amount after seeing the size it’s got to this season in a lager pot. Hopefully won’t cause too much of an issue in the future. Don’t think it’ll be a huge issue as the veg patch is so wet, it should get diluted quickly.
