Another day at plot , planted 2 beds of 2nd early potatoes 🥔 The membrane I put on the beds to stop weeds has worked brilliantly , got from Lidl or Aldi , can’t remember which A bit of weeding as well Intend to go again on Friday , need to do some gardening at home
Went to the plot this evening, what a difference the clocks changing have made, I stayed till about 8pm and it was still very light.
Peas and sweetcorn seem ok although one pot had been disturbed, left a tray of peas as they are quite mature it's likely the seeds will have rotted by now. A tomato plant and some Okra haven't coped with the chilli nights so won't be taking any more of those seedlings down to the plot for a few more weeks.
Planted out a tray of chard with protection and sowed a tray of Pak Cho.
GWR. Hope you catch up with home gardening, it's so easy to fall behind when stuff needs doing on the plot.
