Thinned out the carrots,parsnips and beetroot then gave them a fragrant liquid feed to keep away the carrot fly,Planted some flowers in the upper flower area.
Weeded the rows

Manage 6 hours on the plot today. put my bean frame up, planted beans, courgettes squashes and the last row of spuds. Feel like I'm on top of the plot now. Fingers crossed for some nice weather! I wish the wind would disappear! I'm quite sunburnt dispite lots of suncream. Harvested some chives, salad burnet and sage.

Planted out the Cabbage, Cauliflower and Brussels Sprouts then netted them to keep out the nasties!
TOH cut back the Comfrey and put it in the compost bins then we both sat out on the patio, had a coffee and then did some weeding  :D

Corn went out, as did the courgettes and half of my toms (other half in the blowaway greenhouse still). They really couldn't wait any longer so I will have to take the slight gamble. Also strimmed the paths and weeded round the onions.

Put up bean sticks and planted runners. Planted pots of parsley in final positions.

Put in 1, 2,3,4,5............99, 100 cabbages, not sure it was 100 but hubby is still cursing at me. I got carried away and didnt expect them all to grow. Knowing Hubbys spacings they will be close so spring greens will be used as soon as they are big enough so they are not all ready at one time.

At home the climbing french beans are out. More carrots sowed. A huge pot sort and emptied all stuff that failed to show, not many pots but its much tidier now.

Transplanted some more spring onions and lettuce this evening. Potted on a few chillis. Pricked out some Cayenne seedlings. Not sure if a bit late but they were free in a magazine so i sowed them as soon as I could. Thinned out and weeded parsnips and beetroot. Planted Four purple sprouting plants. Should be plenty for two of us.

I was lucky to have an 11 year old helper both Sat and Sun for a few hours who loves planting and sowing so he planted out chard, 2 types of beetroot, chives and flowers for cutting. He also sowed another batch of Queensland Blue pumpkins (after the last batch failed to germinate  :( ). They are his favourite for roast pumpkin in the depths of winter.  I spent my time digging over/weeding what will be the brassica bed  which was full of horsetail and couch grass (with a little added bindweed for good measure  :ohmy:) because the green broccoli is desperate to get in the ground.

Felt as if I achieved something yesterday, really tidied up the hedge more natural light into our outdoor space, and it look a lot neater. Little bit left to do tonight and sorted!
Cheers

Worked nights this weekend so have not been down much.
I had hoped to get down to the plot today but it is persisting it down at the moment  :(

As it's now stopped persisting down and its dried out I am going down there now. I will be transplanting some Sweetcorn and Beetroot and then sowing a couple of rows of Carrots, Swede's and Parsnips'.
