Garden week of 24-Apr

Things are going well in the garden this year :)

Herb bed is going manic already.  The mint is going wild at the moment and I have decided to let it go for this year and then in the winter dig it all out and put some concrete slabs in to divide the bed up and stop it taking over.  Most herbs have come back apart from some of the thyme plants and 2 of the sage plants.

Onions were planted in March in sets and put under sun tunnels and have a huge growth on them, lettuce is also coming along well under the tunnels.

Have covered another bed in the tunnels and germinating carrots, parsnips, turnip, swede and beetroot under it.  Peas and mangetout in as well.

This year have special containers for the beans to keep them out of the main beds, and inside the house the tomatoes, cucumber, courgette and squash are coming along.

Got seed beds set up germinating cabbage, broccoli, kale and cauliflower but not much coming from them yet, everything crossed. Print this post
