Dismantled the boysenberry bush frame and bambooed new shoots :)

Took a walk up the allotment to dig a bit and do some tidying up. Started turning over another drill (for my onions / courgettes / cucumbers). Before:

After :)


I'll re-use the lathes to strengthen my greenhouse and for the new shed roof :)


And took home the parsnips a carrots I dug up to eat :)

After being away the Bank Holiday weekend now getting my seeds trays going..

Strong wind today so moved greenhouse closer to back wall and protected with bins. Must re-inforce frame with lathes and staples!

Even though the Lidl toms, etc. at 89c look great nothing like growing from seed! :)

Got toms, peas, beans and sweetcorn growing in trays in the backyard greenhouse.



The tumbling toms, chilli and sweet peppers (repotted) are also holding their own:

Also marigolds and more toms happening in the kitchen. And brought some of my lettuce in to eat :)


I'm using fancy Haxnicks Deep Rootrainer Set Root Trainer potting containers for the beans and sweetcorn:
