Early visit to Plot 13 to beat the heat.... Made the first comfrey and nettle tea batches of the year, gave the asparagus and potatoes a seaweed feed and then weeded the whole plot before the little beggars get too big  :lol: After a couple of hot dry days the soil in the beds is looking dreadful, grey, dry and cracked plus full of stones. 2024 looks like the year I am mostly going to be putting in some serious work improving the soil in each bed!

Get some well rotted manure/mulch and just apply to the top of your beds, leave the worms to take it in, conserves moisture too

Planted out a courgette plant I've had in the cold frame. Planted some peas out that were in modules in the cold frame too. Found a packet of pumpkin seeds so sowed them in pots and placed in the empty space that the peas and courgette left. Went over the grass areas with the push mower

Planted out some beans with nasturtiums as companions, then weeded all the beds. The asparagus that was late coming up is now over 4ft high  :lol:
