Very hot

Extremely hot weekend. Spent an hour or two just watering and a little bit of weeding.

Fully planted up

Sweetcorn (3x8) in back box.
Runner beans in middle box with fresh compost from Feb in it ... which may or may not work, we'll see.
Squashes in skip bag filled with fresh menure mix and a little soil and last years compost.
Tomatoes in pots with last years compost and in central box, dug over with most of last years compost.
Courgettes and calibrasse to complete that box except for a small patch big enough for 2 plants.

Potatoes severly frost damaged, even though covered - tops almost completely died back but plenty of new shoots coming thru.

Leeks, more cabages; nearly complete with planting

Filled up the large box to middle left side with leeks (seedlings about 3" tall). Cabages and two cauli in front left box to complete that.

A few left over potatoes in the un-boxed bed that had runner beans last year.

Only one box left, last lears carrots which I might leave fallow, and the large bed for sweetcorn and thats it.

First crop potatoes now quite high and difficult to cover, or to earth up anymore, so will have to just let them grow and if there's a late frost then oh dear.

With Tom's help, now emptied last years compost box that had squashes growing in it. It needs lining with something like wooden planks or floorboards to strenght and fill gaps in sides and then to just get filled up again.
