Today was supposed to be the driest day of the holiday weekend… instead we have had just about every type of weather in rolling successions. Still, plants had to be planted and seeds had to be sown.

Jobs completed today:

  • Planted my parsnips… first time I have tried these
  • Planted some more fennel plants
  • Planted out my Rainbow Chard
  • Planted my cos and salad bowl lettuce
  • Finally planted my leeks from last year.. however I beginning to think they may be spring onions… I will have to wait and see what they do.
  • Sowed Picante peas, white beetroot, red beetroot and radish.

I have covered the new planting with metal mesh, not environ-mesh. This will keep the pigeons off but let the rain and the sun in.

One more bed completed:

A New Bed of Parsnips, Chard, Fennel, Peas and Beetroot.
