Green things growing

And not just weeds. The French Beans I sewed last week, have already popped their heads out.

I’ve been along every morning to water and all is looking good. I sewed some more carrots yesterday. Hopefully these will germinate.

Back at it!

After a month or so of short and sporadic visits, resulting in the loss of runner beans, carrots and leeks, I’m back at it.

I made it down on Sunday to scythe the weeds and cut the grass,  and I’ve been down 3 times this week before work.

With the beautiful weather it’s been wonderful. Planted some more runner beans, courgettes and cucumbers, sewed some French beans, weeded onions and strawberries.
