hot hot heat

Bindweed all over my peas.. bah.
Tis very hot, so have to step up on the watering front. Sweetcorn and courgettes went in over the weekend, and put a few marketeer cucumbers in one of the raised beds. Leeks doing well at home - they'll be ported across to the lottie next weekend hopefully.

Garlic looks to be going great guns, and my red baron onion is doing a lot better than last year.

The few tomato plants I put in not doing too well - though we're already overwhelmed with plants at home so a load of those will have to come across.

Growing mixed letuce varieties for the first time on the plot this year. Seem to be doing well without a lot of intervention.

Spring onions - disappointing success rate - reckon I've got about 20% germination 0 so will need to plant a few more & check the date on the seed packet...
