Issues are coming alongside OK – though we’d like rain. I crammed up the massive water butt from the mains a few weeks in the past and now it is empty once more.
Had the primary selecting of French Climbing Beans yesterday. I found one of many crops completely coated with Black Fly – by no means had that on this kind of beans earlier than. I crammed a twig bottle with water and washing up liquid and tried that – hope it really works as I do not wish to lose the crops so quickly and in addition do not wish to use something nasty.
Sweetcorn crops – too shut ( a typical theme) , behind them is the area the place I shall put the Kale and Brussels Sprout crops after they arrive. I’ve acquired the wire netting frames BiL made for me and enviromesh to place spherical and over them.
Beetroot – too shut with a few rows of leeks squashed in behind them and 4 courgette crops – Two too many!
Onions in entrance – which I will not hassle with once more ( do not know why I grew them this 12 months as I would determined to not develop them once more just a few years in the past – low cost to purchase and too dry is the explanation). There are 3 squash crops – with room to path – nearly! and empty canes for the runner beans on the precise some have been sown right here and a few in a small tray and the French Climbing on the left.
Within the greenhouse are too many tomato crops, 3 cucumber crops on the finish, one aubergine standing on the water butt and yet another on the bottom. I moved one tomato plant to exterior just a few weeks in the past however might actually have moved two extra out earlier than they acquired too massive to maneuver.
4 pepper crops, the basil and two extra aubergines standing up on the staging
Pointy peppers starting to get pointy
A few of the aubergines flowers have set however others simply fell off. There will likely be sufficient to a giant batch of make my favorite aubergine/tomato pasta sauce
Good to get again to rising meals once more after my enforced 12 months off final 12 months.
Again Tomorrow
