Too hot to dig!
I’ve got a big bit of plot that I need to clear the grass on, but its just too hot to go about digging properly. Its the last bit that is infested with couch grass. I should have done it last autumn, but failed to be motivated to do it. And this year I wanted to clear some of the bottom where the soil is less dense clay and actually get plants in rather than spend the whole time removing grass!
Planted our sunflowers, corn flowers and sweet peas into flower bit.
Picked my first crop of the year! Admittedly its only radishes (French Breakfast), but still a crop!
Remainder of the corn is now out as well as the leeks… not sure how well they will do, but they are covered by scaffold net to try to keep onion fly at bay.
Back at home, the hedge had its first trim of the season, gave it quite a hard cutting at the top to try and push it back a bit.
Planted on rubens peppers in the green house.
