Another load of weeding today and more seeds in the ground.
The onion patch was supplemented by two rows of spring onions from Louise's mega seed collection, varieties to be confirmed when I don't leave the seed packets up in the shed.
The broccoli/cabbage patch produced a grand total of no cabbages and no broccoli (it went to seed) so all that came out and a row of petit pois was slipped in.
The peas and beans in my cold frame have not fared too well.
The module tray at the top did contain peas and beans, but as you can see something came in and nicked the lot. As the cold frame was sealed I suspect mice have somehow tunneled in and nabbed the lot. I'll have to plant another batch in the spare room and get them to grow on a bit to defeat the little blighters.
A bed of parsnips and carrots also went in next to the cold frame once an enormous number of weeds was removed from the bed.
The beds with stuff in them are still growing well.
Despite this being a bit overgrown, the bits on the left that look like spring onions are garlic. The bits in the middle that have long flat leaves are salsify (or weeds... one of the two). And the purple thing on the right is Kale which has gone to seed. D'oh.
And this is another bed full of different types of garlic, and a few weeds which I'll get to in time.
The last thing that is still doing OK is the spinach bed which I keep cutting back but it carries on growing like mad.
Later this week more weeding, and an investigation of the cold frame to find and block up charlie tunnel.
