I’ve been lucky the last few days, firstly the weather was great and secondly my parents came on to the plot to help me get a few things in order.
First job was to earth up the ever growing potatoes – I am soooo annoyed I forgot to note what type they are, but they’re looking good.
I wanted a path as I found that I was putting things too close together, I used some weed suppressant and then some shredded wood that the council drop off on a regular basis.
As for the front of the plot you can see the garlic, it looks great can’t wait to try this soon.
We then had to start weeding again, I’d previous dug this section before but not covered it with weed suppressant material. So after a few hours we had our area ready for some runner beans.
Fingers crossed I’ll get them in this week, even though I will have to buy most of them from the garden centre.
The Broad Beans are growing now but I’m still not convinced that they’ll come to anything, fingers crossed though.
There were some places with plenty of earth to use and other places very little. During my watering visit today I was surprised to find that I needed to earth up again. The glourious weather we’ve been having has certainly helped the plot grow – this also includes the weeds on the empty part of my area. Thats this weeks project.
