We watered all the plants in the greenhouse on Saturday and then on Sunday morning we went down early - the weather was lovely and really quite warm. We planted the maincrop potatoes (Cara and Sante), 3 rows of 5 potatoes and then 1 row of 5 potatoes in another bed. Everything is doing well in the greenhouse, still no sweetcorn, green beans or borlotti beans through yet. There are no sign of the peas outside yet but the new broad beans are beginning to come through.
Henry's redcurrant bush is covered in flowers, as are the apple trees and the gooseberry bushes. Graham arrived after we had been there a while and gave us some parsley and some rocket as well so we have planted them in the greenhouse.
This afternoon we sowed some radish and some lettuce leaves in the guttering Uncle Nige got for us. Then we sowed a small tray of rocket and some flowers (Petunia, Sweet peas and Mesbrymanthemums (or something like that !!!)). All of these we are keeping at home for easy picking !
