Herbaceous

Lovely purples. Pretty pleased with its progress, but no sign of the "red hot pokers" I was looking forward to this year after all the watering last.


Also I've placed the remaining corn in the allotment. We're down to 25 but I suspect a few won't make it.

Allotmenteering again


It has laid off raining long enough for A. and I to get some serious work done.  We planted three gooseberries in traffic light order (thought A did admin to some confusion later on).

Then we dug over and weeded a plot and put in squash (butternut, round and blue banana).  Under the fleece are broccoli and cabbage, but the plants look pretty weedy and I am not optimistic they will survive the cold and the transfer.  More reason to knock up a better cold frame (work in progress).


 Finally some good news. The Early potatoes are on their way up.
