Raspberries To You
Well, it’s looking like there’ll be lots of raspberries in the weeks ahead. In need of rather good trims, the raspberry bushes inside (and sometimes outside too) the fruit cage look like they are doing fine. Red currants seem to be in abundance too.
On the veg side of things I’m not too optimistic for my rows of dwarf peas. I planted the seeds about 2 weeks ago now and I can’t tell if they are sprouting. Maybe I put them in too deep? Yet another mistake perhaps.
I planted some more beetroot and that is starting to appear by the looks. The row of swede seeds are coming through too and I think I’ll use the remainder of the seeds (soon). You can never have enough swede - well okay we don’t (currently) eat it that often, but if it grows well it’ll boost my novice confidence.
I love the colour of this aubergine plant in the greenhouse. Just have to wait and see how it grows.
No flowering yet on the tomato plants. One of the little fellas isn’t looking very well compared to his taller brothers and sisters.
Plot wise, I am trying to get a grip on the weeds that seem to thrive with ease. I’ve got some way to go yet as it’s a big job unfortunately. I’ve taken some old pieces of carpet down and I’m using them for ground cover.
A couple of plotters have been burning weeds this week - think I’ll do the same too.
Pressing job is to get a gutter on my side of the main greenhouse. There’s loads of rainwater dripping off the roof and currently going to waste and I need to be saving it. I’ll be completely stuffed in the well dries-up. Not sure how I’m going to fix a gutter - need to buy my mate Si a pint and hope that he can dream up some fixing method.
