- Cleaned out the greenhouse
- Put the toms that are in grow bags on the top of upturned boxes, so they not on the floor
- Re-potted brussels, spinach, parsnips, toms & some more runners into 3" pots
- Re-potted into planters - Beetroot (in medium planter - 15 plants), Sweetcorn in large planter (in their loo rolls - 3 in big one and 2 in another), spring onions in the shallow planter, with more seeds sowed direct, in between the ones grown in the mini greenhouse.
- Big blue planter of carrots, covered with fleece, to stop the carrot fly.
- Big blue planter of cut & grow lettace with radish (sowed from seed)
- 2 x troughs and 1 growbag of the cucumbers (2 in the growbag and 3 in the troughs)
- Planted out the runners into the prepared soil and made a wigwam for them, got 6 runner beans in this spot (thinking about putting cauliflower next to them) - covered with fleece and netting.
- Then i watered all the plants and put down some blue organic slug pellets and changed all the beer in the beer traps.
- Turned over and aeriated the composter (adding newspaper from the piggies and their pooh!)
Now i need to start to harden off the plants in order to put them out soon, the weather seems to be getting brighter now.
I also bought a rechargeable torch from Homebase, so that I can go and do the slug/snail lobbing at night (I go out twice every eve).
I need to find out about "pinching out", I dont have a clue about this, so I will be asking on the Grapevine to see how this is done, apparently I need to do this to my sweetpeas, so that they get bushier and more flowers, not seen one yet, but they are about 7" tall.
Also, yesterday I mowed the lawn and put down more grass seed, it is really starting to shape up out there. Nice and green, so I will be taking some more pics soon.
By the way, my radish are almost ready to come out of the ground, cant believe that the first thing I have ever grown from seed is almost ready to eat, yum yum! I will eat a whole plateful!!
Back soon x
