Very warm day.
Soaked the plum tree for an hour then planted that.
Watered the plants, scattered the mustard seeds in a small area of bed two.


Coriander ready for picking

Thursday 8th June

5-00 – 6:30 pm

Radish seeds were put in on 6th May and Spinach on 7th May.
Both are now ready to pick. 


Tasty Radish

Spinach


Picked a big bag full of spinach and handful of radish and some onions too.




It has been so hot for the last few days. I watered the fruit trees with water from the main tank.

Courgette plants are showing tiny courgettes and flowers are coming through.
Mangetout and peas are in flower.

Melon plants, although started off in the conservatory, are not doing well.
Potatoes are flourishing.

Strawberries looking good in the strawberry tower.




Saturday 12th June


2:15 – 3:00 pm

Just went to check the LG out, as there had been a lot of rain Friday and Saturday.
Found two red strawberries and one tower full of strawberries.

Methi seeds put in last Friday showing some signs.

Courgettes coming through green and yellow are now about 2 to 3 inches with flowers.

Picked another handful of radish.

Wednesday 15th June

11:40-13:00
Lots of rain for days so not had chance to go to the LG.

Dave came around and went to the LG with us to split some of the pallets we had there.




I weeded the onion bed.

D showed us how to put canes and wire for the raspberries. Tie the raspberries loosely on to the wire and train them us as they grow straight and will be supported.



Picked coriander and spinach for Sue and few radish and for home.
