Mostly as a record for us, but the weather was dramatic when I picked Jamie up from the plot this evening, so there are a few photos. Jamie has potted on 44 marigold seedlings and they're outside under netting.
The pumpkins all sprouted (the day after I wrote the last post) and the luffah popped up the following day and have been moved up to the greenhouse. Jamie sowed minicole cabbage.
The Benchmaster beans are about 15cm tall so should also go out soon. The mangetout have been planted out with plastic bottle cloches to protect them from pigeons until they're established.
The broad beans have flowers on! Hooray!
I've sowed a row of Radish Maribeau and the chilli plant (Prairie Fire) for my office has been delivered. Oh, and we put the next stage of the nematodes into the raised bed, potato bags, potato row and fennel tubs yesterday before the rain started. Perfect timing!
That was very dramatic sky above you as you worked busily.
ReplyDeleteIt was rather exciting as it got darker and darker!
DeleteI'm agree with Sue. It's so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat rhubarb looks great. Have you had a crumble yet?
ReplyDeleteLots of rhubarb, but no crumble. It's surprisingly tasty with chocolate icecream though!
Deletewhat a busy time. I will definitely grow rhubarb at some point!
