Quick update ….
Maincrop (King Edward) went in on Monday evening. Attacked the couch grass a bit more…
I think some heavy duty plastic sheeting might be needed to cover the parts of the site which have been covered for sometime.
And on a seedling front, the cucumbers are looking quite healty, so obviously survived the transplanting. The first real leaves are coming through now. Balconi tomatoes are also looking like they need potting into larger pots quite soon.
Both sweet and chilli peppers are just about starting to poke their heads up. A number of the courgette plants are sprouting as well. First planting of peas (in drain pipe in the green house at the moment) are looking like they need planting out. I guess a second sowing is needed, though I really wanted to get that done directly onto the allotment.
Tendergreen calabrese is looking healty, again it needs transplanting from the small cells, with the second sowing looking ok.
A small number of basil seeds are just coming up, and the coriander is definately looking like it wants potting on!
Sweet peas are starting to sprout, they went in a bit late really, but are mostly in jiffies so should survive being transplanted ok.
Didn’t need the green house heater last night! Which is a good thing, looks like there aren’t going to be any frosts for the next few nights. Bought a cheap max/min thermometer from Wilko at the weekend, and its dropping to about 5 overnight, and has been up to 30 a couple of days this week, 25 on others, so things really should be waking up now!
