Quick visit to plant Beetroot

So whilst The Wife is doing the shopping run, I'm off to the plot.

The Beetroot which survived the munches of the Mouse is getting a little pot bound. So it's time to get it out into a bed. I tried my usual method of digging a hole, dropping the plant and then watering them in. Unfortunately the bed that I'm putting them in hadn't seen rain or a hose pipe in well over a month so it's a bit more like a dust bowl than a bed. So instead I had to give the bed a good soaking before I could actually plant anything.

So I only have 20 beetroots. I was expecting more, but since mousie had his breakfast, I have to make do with what I can get.

I'll leave you with a picture of yesterday's sweetcorn, since I forgot to take a picture yesterday.

This is the bed that has two beans planted under each transplant. Whether it works, who knows. But it's worth a try.
