Sunday 23rd June

Went up to plot for 2 hours,it was raining on and off and very windy.Took down sugar snap in tunnel getting to big,tomatoes need the space,the fruit are coming on nicely.Took out one of the courgette plants 4 is to much in there.Removed 3 dwarf french beans,im going to sow a row of carrots in June,July and August to see what is best in tunnel for the winter. Planted up new mangetout plants,aubergine is flowering looks so pretty.Cucumber flying got a mini cucumber plant from a friend so that planted up as well. French beans are about 1/2 to 1 inch long and look really healthy was worried as they had been nibbled are a young stage but are flying along now.Still eating carrots from winter/spring sowing have 2 rows left. Celery are slow to move but look happy the ones outside are slow as well.Rocket potatoes are great in the soil really big.Cauilflower is ready thinking of putting some broccoli plants in tunnel as i have some to spare. Going to net strawberries tonight,hope to put some more tyres planters up tonight have patty pans and pumpkins to plant up.Going to water and feed everything outside on the plot tonight. I cant wait for the raspberries i would say they are 2-3 weeks away at most still very green and tight. Garlic and onions still growing strong it will be a while until ready to pick.Pulling some onions that have gone to seed. Runners are starting to form about 1 1/2 inches long,this will be a first as i have never had runners before August. Sunny here today 25th June and looks like that for the rest of the week.
