And so, on down to Plot 119 after nipping home for refreshements - muffins with our homemade strawberry jam. Plot 119 is lovely, a really relaxing plot, despite the hard work that is involved, not sure why it feels that way but it is a real pleasure to be down there. First job of the day was clearing through the jungle of the greenhouse, the courgettes were a bit rampant and had to cut them back a bit. The chinese gooseberries have doubled in size this week too. And lots of flowers on my sweet peppers (when I finally managed to get to the end of the greenhouse!) Polytunnel is doing what it should, first cucumbers are starting to appear and the striped stuffer tomatoes have got their first fruits, catching up with the Gardeners Delight now.
Strawberries have just about finished now, but the broad beans are still producing in abundance, harvested some more to take home for the week.
The sunflowers are out now too, lovely bushy variety called Wahoo.
Did some more weeding on hands and knees with the sun beating down on us, regular stops for refreshment today.
Got the raised beds looking lovely and cleared around the celery and kohl rabi - really pleased with both of those, the kohl rabi already have started their bulbs, still not sure what they taste like though.... hope they are nice as we have two rows of them!
