Wallflower update

Some of the wallflowers sown on 8th June.

Primrose update

The primroses in the square, black pots are the ones I sowed on 28 April.  The ones in the round pots are from the sowing on 23 March.  Actually, I think what I have always referred to as primroses are actually polyanthus.

A capsicum can also be seen at top right.

Lettuce update

Rather a bad photo, but the lettuce has been growing well, after taking what seemed a long time to germinate.  I had to cover it with netting to keep the sparrows off it.

Green manure update

Some of the green manure seed I sowed in the old strawberry bed 7 days ago is sprouting.

Courgette update

The courgette plant is still doing ok.  I lost a couple of courgettes as something ate them, but there are a few forming now, which I hope to harvest before the end of the growing season.

More green manure sown

Yesterday I sowed some more green manure seed, this time in the bed where the tomatoes were growing.

Green manure

I sowed some green manure seed in the old strawberry bed today.  I tried growing gm last year but it didn't come up, possibly because I didn't net it off from the birds sufficiently, or I planted it too late (October).  Let's hope this sowing is more successful.
