Planting the babies

Hubby took these to the shed and revamped them. Then we filled them with fresh compost mix and I’ve planted out the biggest of the seedlings 

There’s radicchio, cauliflower and broccolini in the first five beds 



Those white butterflies are still around so I’ve netted them
Hopefully it keeps them off my seedlings 



I sowed the second half of this pot with the other packet of beetroot. 

So we will have lots to eat fresh from the garden 



Topped up this garden with more compost and planted more leeks. All this came out of one little square 



Yesterday was so hot. The hottest match day in over ten years. 

Today it’s much cooler and there is a drizzle in the air. 
A perfect day to plant out. 

With a bit of luck the winter garden will flourish

  1. I am going to avoid planting too much until we get back from our break. I will plant some leeks in my vege pod and Three can just turn the tap on when he comes to feed the cat. I am looking forward to planning my winter veges.

    1. Hopefully we get some rain and we won’t have to water too much.

    1. Oh no. I’ve seen some stunning gardens. But it is a productive little patch if not the prettiest

    1. One of our customers makes organic compost. Hubby does a couple of truck deliveries a week and the owner lets me have as much as I need. So every few weeks, if I need it. We get a trailer load
