Midsummer is here and despite the cold start to the year everything is growing like crazy - including the weeds. A case in point are our specially prepared carrot beds. We've planted our carrots in reclaimed baths with a mixture of soil, compost and sand. They've started off really well but were in danger of being crowded out by weeds so some fine weeding was required. See our before and after shots.
Before: After:
Elsewhere on the plot these beetroot were being planted out.
And the potatoes were doing well, with a few showing flowers.
There were also beans and peas being planted out and the onion beds were being weeded. All in all a satisfying time. It's good to see all the hard work paying off.
