A beautiful weekend here saw the Maris Peer early potatoes in on Thursday evening followed by the Charlottes on Saturday. All of the Swift that went in a couple of weeks ago are showing through so they were covered up again.
The sweetpea plants were suffering in the garage so they went in on the end of the runner bean poles put up on Thursday evening. A little close together but hey – who’s counting.
I spotted some Little Gem plants in the diy supermarket at half price and so in they went along with the salad bowl lettuce mix that has been thinking of sprouting for some time.
In also went about 80 sugar snap peas to get some started.
The onions are going very well but I do think I need to give them more space next year.
I’m also pleased that the plot alongside was seen last Sunday and taken up by Shaun and Cecilia. A few nights of hard digging by them got rid of enough dandelions and grass and, thanks to some left over seed potatoes from Bryn, they already have some crops to look forward to later.
All-in-all quite a satisfying week with the plot coming together nicely.
