I took down about 30 pea plants that i had started off in my greenhouse running out of space in there ,they were all big enough to survive that pesky pea and bean weevil that chomps on the leaves.
It didn't take too long to plant them although i'm sure i'll be replanting them next time i go down as a mole keeps hilling around my peas grrrr.
The next job was to make a runner bean structure but i decided i really couldn't be bothered after all the cage building yesterday, so instead took the fleece off the parsnip/ beetroot seedlings BIG MISTAKE!! they were covered with thousands of tiny weeds .... took me almost an hour to weed around them all, still need to thin them out a bit but that's for another day
beetroot on the left cant really see them and parsnips on the right the whole area was covered in weeds!!
Had a quick check around onions are fine, silverskin onions grown from seed are doing well too, things i planted yesterday are still alive ,strawberries in flower need to get them netted soon , first earlies are through and some second earlies .
I was given a redcurrant bush by another plot holder a few months ago it's doing really well think I'll be getting some fruit this year
finally a sneaky look at my blackberry i planted last year it has flower buds, the following pic is a close up it's much bigger than it appears
