Week 12 – 04.05.08 – Plot Report

Posted on 04. May, 2008 by Tracey in My Veg Plot

The weather this week has been more favorable to gardeners with a mix of sunshine and showers. This is the perfect weather for seedlings to put on a spurt of growth and tender plants can be planted out without fear of frosts.

My lovely dwarf beans will be planted out soon on Plot 3. I’m growing varieties Ferrari (same as last year) and a new one – Borlotto. I can’t wait to see the mottled red and white pods on this variety. Then my runner beans won’t be far behind.

Plot 1 – Roots and Salads

• Sowed 2nd row of Carrots (James Scarlet)
• Whilst weeding I found the culprits of my nibbled radishes, 2 baby slugs erh!

Plot 2 – Brassicas

• Planted out 3 Calabrese (ironman) plants into top left of plot.
• Sowed 2nd rows of Cabbage (Winter Tundra)
• Pulled up 1 cabbage (advantage) to make way for Calabrese

Plot 3 – Beans and Peas

• Broad Beans and Peas have put on a spurt of growth and are flowering,
• Mange Tout seedlings have appeared.
