2022 - What I did today

Yesterday did the weekly direct sow list (parsnips, beetroot, coriander, amaranth), planted out some pea beans that I'd missed, cleared the first batch of broad beans, put weedkiller down where a new bit of drive is going - tried hand weeding but the surface is compacted stone & clay and baked solid Cleared all the pots of plants that damped off or fried during the heatwave. Pricked out lettuce, red cabbage & cucumbers.

Today planted out cabbages (a mix of earliest of all, pointu coeur de boeuf and greyhound) there were 12 survivors from the sixty I'd pricked out. Fed all tomatoes, chillies, peppers, aubergines, courgette, squash, cucumbers, melons in the ground. Made more comfrey tea. Pricked out zinnias. Dead headed roses and weeded the rose bank. Degunked the pond.
