Tomatos and Peppers

Could not resist buying six Pepper plants and 4 Cherry tomato plants. I will pot them up for now.

Plot update

Our radishes our doing great. No sign of our carrots.



It can still be a bit cold at night, so at might we use a fleece to cover our veggies.

Replanting courgettes

The courgettes were getting a bit too big for the little green houses we were using. We have replanted them in yogurt cups. Next time their destination will be our plot. First sowed on 14Apr.

By today our seedlings look like this. You can see the courgette seedlings in the middle towards the bottom of the photo.


Learning as weg go...

Plant Rocket salad

Decided to plant the small Rocket salad plants http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arugula from the seed tray out to the plot. We first sowed them 16Apr.

Might be too early, let's see how they do. I don't think I will plant these seeds in a seed tray again. I will sow them directly in the plot.

The weather was ok on Sunday (cloudy 15-20C), but by the end of the day we had some thunderstorms and lots of rain. Looks like we will have this for a couple of days.

Pears are coming

We planted four pear trees in 2006. We had quite a bit of blossom a few weeks ago. But we had some bad weather, and it cooled down quite a bit. We were fearing the worst. Today, we spotted our first pear.



Wondering if we should let it grow...

Second day of seeding. We had nice weather today as well, cloudy 10-20C.
