A YEAR ON THE ALDERMAN HILL’S CUP WINNERS PLOT

April 30th, 2007

Things are coming on at a fast pace now, this hot weather has made plants grow fast. My carrots are through and begining to show their first leaves and the potatoes are growing too.

bean and pea canes

I have erected the canes for the climbing beans and climbing peas, this year I have put landscaping fabric between the canes to stop weeds growing under the plants. I have also covered the beds in the new polytunnel to reduce the weed growth as this is the first year since it was cleaned from the wild.

Cucumbers planted out in polytunnel

I have planted my cucumbers in the new tunnel as they were getting a bit large for the pots, and for the same reason I have planted two of the courgettes outside. My tomato plants are in the polytunnel to get used to it before I plant them into the beds.

The brassica bed is filling up with plants and I have planted out some seedlings of mixed lettuce.

The old polytunnel is filling up nicely with plants sown in the beds, and the parsnips sown in tubes are showing a little growth.
