Cleaning the second greehouse

It's a dry day. Which makes a change because we still have a swimming pool at the plot. However it means we can clean out the second greenhouse.

I should have taken a photo with all the junk in the greenhouse, but we got stuck straight in. The wooden pallet shelves we built did a superb job last year in supporting the tomatoes.

However one drawback of growing Toms in the greenhouse is that there is a bloom on the inside of the glass. Not only does it cut down the incoming light, but it may well harbour disease. And it also looks pretty disgusting. So we had to empty everything out and give the insides a good clean.

After we did that it's more planting time.

We started by using the old toilet roll trick for the Edamame (Soya beans).

But we also planted Foxgloves, Cape Gooseberries, Starflowers and a whole load of other flowers. "We"? Nope this was the Wife's handiwork. I did the sweetcorn. We have two varieties of sweetcorn this year. We kept some of last years crop which are perfect for popcorn making. And we now have a second variety which should be better suited to eating as a kernel as it ripens with a definite change meaning we can catch it at the right time.

Elsewhere on the plot, the Rhubarb is suggesting we ought to lay in a stock of ginger ready for jam making time.
