Beds 15 & 16

No visit yesterday as I had an appointment with my Rheumatology consultant, today the temperature was around 17C overcast with Sunny spells and I spent a good few hours on the allotment today.

Nice to see the Climbing French Beans and Cucumbers starting to climb up the mesh fencing to the climbing frame greenhouse

Nice to see the Climbing French Beans making progress vertically and getting away from slug and snail territory 

Longitudinal Apex braces cut drilled and fitted to the two raised beds on what was bed 15. A couple of the tomato plants have been moved out of the potting shed and placed under the netting.

More mares tail showing and removed from the un-netted Bed 15 before the hoops were installed. Bindweed pushed back along the Daleks behind bed 16 & 15. 

Weeds coming up on the Asparagus beds again, I will have to bring the strimmer to the allotment and knock them back again.

Raised Bed 16 cleared of weeds, the spoil heap needs to be weeded and the humus material decanted into buckets and 30 litre plant pots with handles.

Spoil heap on the rest of bed 16 to be weeded and decanted into square flower buckets & 30 Litre plant pots with handles.

Dwarf French beans germinating. 

Typical I had given up on the Beetroots germinating and planted the dwarf beans and they both come up. Beetroots pinched out in favour of the dwarf French bean.

Started removing the bindweed on the first raspberry bed that needs a cage constructed ASAP.
