Plot Planting


Tuesday had some long sunny periods but it was a blustery day and the temperature didn't manage to reach 20°C.
It seems ages since anything was planted in the plot. Partly due to the long dry spell I haven’t wanted to sow seeds directly into the bone dry ground and a couple of crops at home were devastated by slugs and snails before they even reached the transplanting out stage. 
Our late french beans eventually got transplanted along with some lettuce seedlings and calabrese. The planting holes were filled with water hopefully giving the plants enough moisture to settle into their new conditions. Along with some harvesting it was a productive afternoon on the plot.
