Couldnt believe how much rain came down friday night. Anyway it made digging a bed a lot easier than it was when i attempted last week and it was like digging through concrete.
So saturday it was digging an area to make it ready for the brassica cage to go up. Used my new wheelbarrow and filled it up twice with the dreaded weeds.
Still got an awful lot of the plot to dig over.
Below, the peas and mangetout still looking a tad yellow but they do appear to have survived the frosts and looks they are recovering.
Below, the cabbages under the netting, taking off slowy
The two rows (far left) of broad beans were sown in the first week of march straight into the ground and look like they are really taking off now. I did sow some in February but they never germinated so lesson learnt for next year, wait until march to sow them. (November is also a good month for Broad Beans, so i will probably sow a couple of rows in nov and a few in March)
Also breaking through are the Potatoes I planted before going on holiday.
The Antartica Lettuce look like theyre going to produce a good crop, i need to lift the netting up a tad though, dont want the lettuces breaking through the netting.
