Planting out, potting on and weeding.

So we have a number of seeds in the greenhouse that are getting pot bound. So it's time to get stuff out of the greenhouse and into the ground. First off we have the Peas.

I'll add some canes and possibly some netting at a later date. For now, it's better for getting them out for the time being as they are starting to go a bit yellow being cooped up in the greenhouse all the time. We planted 40 toilet rolls worth of peas, but only 34 made it out.

Next off there is the second tray of turnips.

I'm not so fussed about whether these make it or not, as there is the main bed of turnips. But we may as well put them out. These ones obviously don't have any holes in the leaves unlike those I showed you yesterday. I'm sure the Flea Beetles will find them eventually.

I also planted out 9 of the courgettes into the Deep End beds. But I forgot to take photos.

Whilst I was doing the planting, The Wife was weeding her Strawberry Empire.


After that she re-potted the Tomatoes and the two remaining Cucumbers. But they'll be staying in the greenhouse.

We also threw away some of the seeds that hadn't taken, such as the Purple Carrots, and the Cape Gooseberries (though we did find 1 single one - maybe). So, now the greenhouse is a little emptier.

Plant more seeds? Maybe. Have to see what we still have in stock. Mind you, it won't be today.
