Haricot vert, haricot buerre and borlotti beans have been sown. Very poor germination of the parsnips this year so gaps in the row resown and fingers crossed! More Touchon carrots sowed. More weeding (never ends!) done. Over winter leeks have now gone to seed and have been removed. In the poly tunnel tomatoes and basil transplanted to pots and Sanquine beetroot sown. First lot of beetroot did not germinate so fingers crossed for this sowing. Next sowing goes outside the poly tunnel. Brussels sprouts and early purple sprouting thinned out. More grass mowing but I broke the handle again. Managed to get it repaired pretty quickly and once I resummed mowing it rained! In between rain showers I managed to tranplant some more Glory of Enkhuisen summer cabbage. Picked a good number of broad beans although a disappointing crop. My first over winter sowing of broad beans looked really good but they were hit by blight (rust) and a lot of the plants died off. My second sowing is looking a little happier and fingers crossed I will get a bigger crop off them.
Hens are laying well and Mrs. Buffycross still sits tight. Hopefully next week I will have some news to report of newly hatched chicks.
