Sowing In Bed 15 Part 1

Sunday morning it's 22C and a mixture of overcast and sunny spells which is an ideal combination of weather for an early start on the allotment. I took Pink Floyd Dark Side Of The Moon & The Wall with me to listen to.

Three rows of beetroots sown using the planting rule I made some 12 years ago, Seed compost over the planting line.

Coffee Grounds layered between the drills as fertilised and as a slug deterrent

Alternate lines of seed compost & Coffee Grounds also coffee grounds around the edges of the raised bed

.

Egg shells added and watered in, then another three rows of walking onions in the drills visible in the photo above 


Coffee grounds again layered between the drills of walking onions 

Watered in and covered with crushed egg shells, Next visit rows of carrots to be sown in the last third of the Raised bed.


Tomato plants watered and paving slabs washed down

Raised bed 15 covered using debris netting clipped in place to the hoops

8 number Climbing French Bean Blue Lake from seedstosuit.co.uk a great little seed supplier


Eight Climbing French Bean Blue Lake, the last two loo rolls have French Lazy Housewife French Climbing Beans in.

Climbing French Bean Blue Lake, & Lazy Housewife watered in and placed close to the window of the potting shed.
