No diving in the Deep End

Well after a couple of days of rain on this Bank Holiday, we eventually managed to dodge the showers and get down the plot.

It seems that those beds I made a few weeks back, are now swimming pools. It's not as bad as we've had before. But this new section is considerably lower than the rest of our plot.

So, we really had planned to clean out the 2nd greenhouse, but weather threatens and we decided that we may as well get started on our seriously delayed planting.

We're way behind due to the late Beast from the East (and Son of BotE). So we reckon that we're about a month behind in getting things started this year. Whether we manage to catch up is another matter. But we'll see.

Our trusty courgettes were the first to be done. We've also planted:

• Peas
• Dwarf Beans
• Squash (Honey Bear)
• Chillies (Polenia, and Apache)
• Purple Carrots
• Pak Choi
• Radish
• Leaf Beet (in the Leaf Beat bed where seeds from last year didn't take)
• Pentunias (Mirage, and Stars & Stripes)
• Sunflowers (Giant Russian)
• Lobelia
• Amaranth

And the wife planted out a whole load of the overwintering strawberries.

We still have a load of stuff to plant, such as the Cape Gooseberries, Sweetcorn, Melons. But they're going to have to wait.

Tomorrow threatens rain again. So I guess the 2nd greenhouse will have to wait until next weekend before it gets cleaned.
