Vegetables growing quick
It’s nearly the longest day of the year and the vegetable patch is in full flow.
I’m really happy with the cucumber plant on the right. I bought a small seedling four weeks ago, and it has grown really quick. The one on left came mailorder a week ago, but doesn’t look as healthy as the one I grew. It is a bit of a suntrap in this veg planter. I planted the odd lettuce as gap fillers, but the broccoli has soon smoothered. I think I made beginner’s mistake of planting too closely – I think everyone does first time.
I have bought some nets for upcoming butterfy season.
Let’s see if the cucumber start to grow! (more…)
