It has been a weekend of un-seasonable warmth, more than the usual for this time of May. My main jobs have been trying to keep the plants from wilting and dying in 35c heat within the greenhouse. Apart from that, I have been making progress at my Grandad’s place putting in more rows of carrots, onions, lettuce and some other bits to try and secure a continuous supply throughout the summer. My Dad spent most of the weekend building a new waterfall for the middle garden pond!
I did a bit of thinning in the Raddish area of the bed, they went well in our meal that evening.
The potatos at the back of the bed are starting to overpower the place a bit!
The Squash and Courgette now sit inside other of the diy boxes which I have filled with soil, this should give them loads more room to grow.
This shows the extra new lines of seeding in the second raised bed at my Grandad’s place:
The temperature was usually around 30c but peaked at 35c!
The cucumbers seem to like the heat though
And as always, with their continuous supply of water and nutrients the hydroponic plants have gone crazy. I have had to tie the tomatos out of the way of the pepper plants as they were completely swamping them!
