July starting to warm up

Down for last time before holiday. Plenty of watering to do and not mcuh else. Sweetcorn starting to go to seed rather variably ... hopefully enough at one time to fertilize. Squashes starting get going an plenty of fruit forming.

Pulled most of the onions

Pulled all the onions in the back bed and move a couple of the smaller red cabbages to that space, also with the broccoli seedlings. Then constructed a frame from the red plastic construction toy from next door and covered with a net.



The sweetcorn is coming along -- about 2ft high -- and some are throwing up the seed fronds in the centre.



The first batch of potatoes nearly dug up. Probably wont have time to plant anything following them in that space, so it can stay spare to the rest of the year. Tomatoes in the bag are growing well ... lots of green plant stuff but not too many tomatoes coming thru yet. Runner beans are just getting going.

Garlic, potatoes and carrots

Picked all the garlic -- very rust infected but doesn't seem to affect the bulbs. Plus plenty more potatoes and some small carrots as I thin them out.



Last courgette planted in space around remaining cabbage from last year. Neighbour gave me a load of spare broccoli or other greens, seedlings - planted then around the runner beans and a few at back where the garlic was - not that bothered, maybe they'll come to something maybe not. Everything ticking along nicely; a bit of weeding and watering but not much else to do!
