Another hot weekend which looks like holding out for a while This is good for growing and some of the plants put out too early are starting to recover. It does mean more watering, especially newly planted crops and those in containers. The salad crops under the cloche are doing really well and unless the weather turns bad it can come off completly until autumn to extend the season. The largder plants are turnip 'oasis' which were sown in modules to grow as a cluster. These are now about the size of a golf ball, very tasty raw but not too sure about cooked! Other crops are spring onion, chinese cabbage, beetroot, cutting celery, radish and carrot. The first sowing of radish have been pulled and a new row sown.
A second row of peas have been sown here with dwarf beans in between. At the front are some fennel which were sown early. I have another batch to go in shortly. Just out of camera is a ring of runner beans to be supported by a wigwam of canes. The rest of the pictures show how the crops and plants are coming on despite the dry weather.
