A couple of rays of mixed brassicas had been hardened off nd got spacd out in the filed at the w/e.. along with a row if peas under a chicken wire tunnel.
The shar frost night before last crinkled up some leaves on runner and climbing beans I'd put out to harden.. theyre back in the greenhouse. It's a risk one takes for an early crop and may get resown.
Sweetcorn coping with the frosts and hardening off. nice sturdy seedlings and about 130 of them so losses there would be a shame.
Greenhouse borders now planted up with toms, courgette, peppers, aubergies and catch crops of radish, sp onion and lettuce and some chard and beets for leaf. tubs and baskets planted up in the grenhouse too.
Typically I now have x/s spares.. geranium, lobelia, sweet peppers, toms and some cues - anyone near llanfyllin is welcome to them or they stay in the greenhouse until potbound and take their chances in the field.
The onionsets in the field veggie patch are sprouting. Seeds and spuds are sensibly keeing their heads down still.
we dug out the last of the good stored onions yesterday.. about 8/9kg are now too soft to use but stil good spuds stored. Whch really is amazing- 8mths of our own onions and it'll be near 10mths of our own spuds. Lst years parsnips in the field have stopped being nice now.. edible if one was hungry - and one could say the same for the carrots. PSB is fine but the rest of the brassicas are bolting - can still eat some leaves but again not so nice.
