Bank Holiday weekend weatherwise being overcast with some rain and rather windy at times. The rain overnight Friday to Saturday was welcome, and much needed, and it will have saved me having to water all round this week. I didn’t go to the plot yesterday, and today I’ll take a look round after lunch when it should have brightened up.
Last week I sowed two rows of dwarf French beans Tendergreen, and planted out the first three tomatoes, Outdoor Girl and Yellow Perfection, along with the cucumber Diva. Next week I hope to plant out the other three tomatoes, same varieties, and sow the sweet corn Sundance. I’ll probably also sow another two short rows of carrots Royal Chantenay.
I can see flower buds on lots of the self-seeded Pot Marigolds Flighty’s Favourites, and on Friday a one yellow was almost open so it shouldn’t be too long before it’s looking it was back in July 2016.
Have a good week, and take care!

Those Marigolds are so lovely … roll on the next contingent! 🙂
Thank you Mike 🙂

A lot of ‘weather’ helping you out this weekend. Also helping your plot growth. Essentially, what you want. The proposed plotting will, I hope, give you lots of goodies by harvest time.

I love the spread of Flighty’s Favourites from 2016. That will be a sight to look forward to in a few weeks. You’ve been busy with planting the summer crops. Here, in the US, we have a 3-day holiday too. It is Memorial Day on Monday.

Our rain started….and hasn’t really stopped! But like you said, it saves us watering. I’m hoping to get some more carrots sown very soon. Was also hoping to get some of my squash out but the temperatures weren’t much help so put them back inside again!

Sharon how annoying. My first lot of carrot seedlings have completely disappeared, presumably slugs. I hope you can plant your squash out soon. xx

Do you find the pot marigold mix to vary over the years? I keep finding a few that are surprises (all orange ones where even the center is orange, or orange ones with pale tips and vice versa).

Nikki yes very much so, which I suppose isn’t surprising and I like to see which colour variations appear. xx
