Earlier in the week I sowed yet more carrots Sweet and Neat as neither of the first two sowings germinated or appeared.
The cucumber (unknown variety) I was given which I planted out a couple of weeks ago hasn’t grown much but it’s doing okay, and thankfully hasn’t been got at by slugs or snails.
In the next few days I’ll be sowing more dwarf French beans Sprite as only six have appeared out of eighteen I sowed three weeks ago.
In complete contrast all nine of the dwarf runner bean Jackpot germinated quickly and are growing well as this one shows.
I planted out a tomato Golden Sunrise this week which I’d started off from seed two months ago, and I’d almost given up on a couple of times. I’ve now got ten tomato plants out on the plot, all except two having been given too me. They’re all okay, and hopefully sunnier warmer weather will encourage them to grow. It should do the same for the sweetcorn Sundance.
Have a good weekend, and take care!
Flighty's plot 
Reading your blog is always a pleasure Flighty, but today I am especially encouraged to make one last effort as I haven’t yet planted out my beans, and the potted Thyme I bought some weeks ago is dying off in the pot, so I need to find a suitable place to plant out that as well, before it’s too late! Thanks 🙂

Anne thanks, that’s nice to know. Beans can be planted out, or even sown direct, through to the end of the month into early July. You’re welcome. xx

Ten tomato plants! I hope you have a bumper crop there. Those and the runner beans sound like the ups in your growing season so far; the others more of a struggle. Good luck and may they all succeed.

Liz I only really need 4/5 plants at most so if they all fruit well I’ll be giving lots away. The runner beans certainly. Thanks, let’s hope that they all do well. xx

It’s almost a game of hide and seek with the germination this year. It’s a bit like us. Do we or don’t we when it comes to deciding to hibernate at home, or face the odd low temperatures we’ve been having.
Have a good weekend.

It is frustrating when seeds just won’t germinate! Hope the tomato takes off this time and your other crops too.
