Not much, too hot!
Edged and weeded the raspberry rows & gave everything in pots a water. Tasted my first gooseberry of the year but think I'll give them another few days!

Popped in to water everything after work. So dry, so dusty...but the  climbing French beans have grown at least a foot in the last couple of days and started to flower  :) and my first baby pumpkin is starting to form

Planted out the leeks and Oca that I'd started in pots.

up the plot at 8.00am, planted peas and beans to fill the gaps, came home at 8.45 soaked through, rain started at 8.30, had to have a complete change of clothes.

Popped down to the plot after a week on holiday, all well with the plants, weeds going mad in between beds. Have fruits developing on the squash and pumpkin plants and the peas are fattening up. Going back later on to pull up some new potatoes to have with tea later, will be the first harvest of potatoes this year.  :D

Removed Calabrese plants that have done their bit. Dug over bed added chicken manure and sowed some mange toute peas. Hoping that the ominous comments I see about mildew on late peas don't come to reality!
Quick run round watering recently planted Brussels as well as the courgettes/squashes. Despite the storms elsewhere we have had minimal rain and the ground is bone dry, really apparent as I dug trenches for the peas.

Cheers HH
Keep digging

Planted last of dwarf French bean plants I grew from seed. About 4 dozen plants in now. Warm and raining here so applied some slug pellets to the plot, the blighters will be out en masse I suspect.

Managed an hour between showers  :lol:
Picked lots of strawberries.
I was given lots of plants last year and this year and the crop is amazing and the fruits are huge and delicious  :)
Weeded the strawberry bed.
Weeded between my slowly growing seedlings of beetroot,spinach,chard and turnip. Almost whole rows germinated now.  :D
Picked some pak choi which is starting to go to seed.
Sweetcorn very small compared to others on site but definitely growing.
Charlotte potatoes have lots of flowers so will dig up a plant tomorrow to see how they are.

Moved the excess toms from the greenhouse into the poly tunnel and gave it a tidy. Made a start on weeding and edging the veg plots, checked to see if the gooseberries were ready - still waiting. But looks as though my autumn planted onions are ready to lift tomorrow if it's dry. And found my first caterpillar of the season happily munching on my cabbage :(!!

Short trip after dinner to have a look see after the weekend. Had to repair the debris netting brassica cage where my sewing had begun to come undone, so I used a few cable ties to join the 2 pieces together I hand sewed on Sunday, pulled a few weeds, picked 2 big strawberries & half a punnet of raspberries, walked round the site & came home

Picked loads of lovely, sweet strawberries and scoffed quite a few, as well. Picked a couple more courgettes and some broad beans and baby turnips for tea - the turnips are getting woody now, should've peeled them. Gave the incessant bindweed another dose of glyphosate - probably pointless today, given the showers. Everything looking good now!

Took my mum and dad for a guided tour. Lovely as they were impressed with plot as not seen it for a while  :)
Picked more strawberries which they took home and admired the huge amount of blackcurrants ready for picking. Need to get back in next couple of days  ;)

Had a good day  :) in the sun on the plot. Weeded and watered, pulled up failed black-flied broad beans and replaced them with the second batch of French beans (dwarf ones plus a wigwam of Climbing Blue Lake).  Also potted on the winter brassicas (3 types of kale, 2 types of PSB) and harvested all the shallots - really pleased with them  :D. The enviromesh is worth its weight in gold.
