Nearly finished planting-

This week has been the final leg of planting out seedlings lovingly nurtured in the greenhouses and coldframe- only the basil and leeks remain in pots.

The sweetcorn is in we grow this in loo roll tubes to minimise root disturbance - this year we have 84 plants!  We sowed two varieties  - a bicolor one from real seeds and some left over seeds from last year. Can you tell that I can't remember the names ?

Anyway they have filled one of the biggest beds - we always plant sweetcorn in blocks to allow pollenation.Here they are - still small but with plenty of room.
 

 

Here is a more romantic view from across the herb bed.

 

 

 

I sat outside the new shed this afternoon and took some low level pictures dowm the path and close ups of the Bhudda of the herbia and flowers to share with you.

 

 

 

I quite like that one - here is Bhudda nestling in the herbs .

 

 

Next him are these aqualegia - self seeded of course.

 

 









The chives flowering at present look really lovely.

 

 

We also have some webbs lettuce that is ready spot the ant on this one !

 

 

 

In the coldframe we have baby basil- sweet genovese and greek - as well as parsley seedlings .

 

 

Here is the view from the main path - as you can see I haven't earthed up the spuds - seems  a bit late and pointless to me.

 

 

 



 Finally here is a picture of my left foot complete with toe ring and birkenstock sandal for all you fashionistas out there.
