pak choi

Framed

I planted out pak choi and rocket. To stop the birds eating them, I made a frame out of bamboo and netting. It took me ages and, in the middle of doing it, I nearly set fire to it in frustration. Not pretty, let's hope that it works.

I put more potatoes in. I'm really getting into dividing the plots into squares with salad plants acting as a dividing line.

damped off!

My tomatoes and peppers had come up and so I removed them from the propagator because I've killed them in the past by leaving them in too long. Despite the greenhouse being heated, the tomatoes (all but one) died on me. Looks like 'damping off'. Given that I used a mist sprayer to keep them damp, it's probably my own fault. I've sown some more.

In a fit of enthusiasm, I sowed pak choi (Colour and Crunch F1) and some Rocket.

In the garden I sowed some carrots (Early Nantes 5). I've accidentally bought the sort that come in a paper strip. A little strange, but were very easy to put into the ground. I'll sow a row a week for a while.
