Seed potatoes waiting to be planteed |
Finally up and ready for use |
There have been some high points recently as well - the greenhouse that I got from FreeCycle is finally up and fastened securely to the flags that make up its base and being well used.
Jack's Patch on April 26th |
Shallots, Little Gens and Spinach planted |
The first early potatoes that I put in on Easter Monday have finally shown their heads and are looking to be strong plants, so I hope that I can get a decent crop from them when they are ready for harvest which should be around my birthday, the first week of July.
It remains to be seen if their somewhat delayed start will mean that they are not ready for a few weeks after this - I will wait for them to flower and the foliage to wilt before tipping them out.
I'm sure that Jack will give me a helping hand and will appropriate most of them to take home to his mum for dinner.
Tomatoes, Celeriac, Chillis, Pumpkins, Courgettes,Shallots |
A couple of the tomatoes I started at the beginning of March have also survived and have been potted on along with some little gems, spinach and celeriac, and I bought a small pack of cauliflower plugs from Aldi which are doing well in the cold frame.
I have also sown far too many courgetes and pumpkins (in the plastic cups to the right of the picture) , but I wanted to make sure that I had at least one pumpkin for Jack's Patch. As of this morning I have three pumpkins and eight courgettes :)
