Sweetcorn planted

3 rows of 11 sweetcorn planted -- between 4 and 6" tall -- all in back bed. 9 plants left over into large pots in case I need them of they do better than ones I planted in which case I'll swap them.

Earthing up potatoes


Earthing up potatoes, with soil piled up on rear box that I'll use for sweetcorn now it's nice and leveled.

Also digging out one spare box which will be this years to fill with compost etc... Currently that's got standing water below about 12" down -- remember we're in a drought!

Half of cabbage seedlings gone to seed so throwing them away.

Almost done with planting

Planted one box full of beetroot and a few carrots

Did most of the others with potatoes, and each of leeks and onions, 3 or 4 weeks ago. The potatoes are coming thru now.

Just the large one along back left -- try for sweetcorn there I think this year.

Cleared the bamboo by the shed and moved as much of the grass as mower could manage.
