Planted three courgettes, three squash, 7 out door toms and two rows of beetroot which had been started in modules. Was really surprised at how dry the soil was after all of the rain we have had recently so gave everything a good drink of water.

Last night i weeded, watered, thinned out the beetroot and generally admired how well we have done. Our Strawberries are as big as golf balls.....

picked 3 courgettes - yes, that's right - 3 of them! ha ha summer is here  :D

I thought summer was here too until I saw the weather forecast this morning, says we might get ground frost tonight. Typically I planted my sweetcorn and runner beans yesterday so I'll pop down later and throw some fleece over them.

not been today yet but yesterday put in Runner beans, French beans, Dwarf French beans, some sweet peas and put some nasturtians near the beans. Put netting over my carrots. Got saturated in the process  :(
Why is it waterproof clothing gets your clothes as wet in condensation, twice yesterday I had to get changed  :mad:
I came I saw I grew my own veg

Cleared a bed of couch grass and planted out 30 sweetcorn plants. Back aching but feel that it was worth it. Water, watered and watered again.

Surveyed the extremely lush looking privet hedge surrounding my 100' garden > felt very grumpy > had a cup of tea > felt better > recharged one of the batteries on my cordless hedge trimmer > had lunch > went out into garden with hedge trimmer > felt grumpy again > chatted to neighbour for half an hour > felt better > started trimming hedge > grumpy again > battery only lasted for about 50' of hedge > felt better, so had a cup of tea and another chat with neighbour before using second battery > second battery nearly flat > felt extremely happy (until tomorrow!)  :)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

I finally netted the tall peas, sowed a short row of dwarf green beans.
Filled in the gaps on the bean frame with new Fasold plants and sowed some purple podded climbing beans at one end.
Covered all new sowings with netting to stop the pigeons getting them >:(
Netted some red cabbage before the pigeons finished it off ::)

Did some watering and ate a couple of strawberries and some sugarsnaps  :) Yum!
