Sweetcorn update - batch 1

The first batch of seeds sown have shown an almost perfect germination. They now seems to growing about half an inch a day. Thanks to feebs for using her windowsill and keeping a feline eye on them.

Jersey royals to plant

Thanks to fellow allotmenteer John for the. Bag of jersey pots. Will need to do more digging now but it will be worth it.

Nicotiana officinis - to be honest not looking good

Seeds sown 14th may

Ok, so today:
Borlotti beans
Sweetcorn -second batch
Catmint
Nastursian -can't spell that one!
Courgette

Seeds galore

No visit to allotment for few days but busy at home sowing seeds and potting on. Have almost run out of room and pots are balanced on all manner of bricks and boxes in the garden. Have also annoyed Phoebe as her windowsills are full of propogators with sweetcorn and borlotti beans.
Don't you just love this time of year.

Bring on the beans

Well the lovely rain meant I could spend 3hrs digging the bed for the beans. Lovely day today and I managed to finish the whole bed. Here's hoping for a couple of showers to help break it up. The peas are almost ready for planting now.
Root veg bed next when my back has recovered.

Rain - hurrah!

At last, a drop of rain to soak through the. Beds. Hopefully I will be able to dig over the beans bed ready for the peas.
More rain expected overnight as well, lovely!
