May Bank Holiday Weekend

Well, predictably the weather is nowhere near as nice as last weekend ! Of course, it is a bank holiday and that is what happens !

We went down on Friday morning to water as Daddy had the day off with Mummy, then we went down on Sunday morning. We built a frame with netting to go around Henry's redcurrant bush as there are lots of redcurrants on it, although not starting to turn red yet so we've caught the greedy birds out ! One of the gooseberry bushes is starting to produce gooseberries, the smaller 2 that Uncle Carl gave us last year don't appear to be but we need to be patient ! At least they look nice and healthy. In the greenhouse everything looks great, the borlotti beans, swiss chard, climbing french beans, sweetcorn and the kale are all through and looking great. Mummy planted the broccoli (Parthenon) out in the large bed that had potatoes in last year. We have 3 rows of them and have kept some more in the tray in the greenhouse in case anything happens to the ones we've planted out. There are quite a few more things that need planting out so we'll go down again tomorrow if the weather is nice and sort some more stuff out :-)
