1st Blog of May

 Has been a busy week, done lots of Weeding, we have planted flowers & veg too.


Mown the paths with my Strimmer and burnt most of the weeds in the incinerator bin. 
This is the before photo, see below for the after pic. 

On a narrow strip of soil, weeded & leveled, planted out two lots of Peas, 'Feltham First' & 'Kelvedon Wonder' have used some stiff netting as supports, then covered with a tent of Fleece to protect from dropping over night temps (see below).

Has been a good week for harvests, just today have picked: 
Asparagus
Leeks
Peas
Rhubarb (2 varieties Stockbridge Arrow & Victoria) in the photo is approx 3lb of mixed Rhubarb, I'm going to make Wine out of it for Christmas.  

So a productive week, have had some very chilly nights, the 1st early Spuds (Rocket) have been affected, but hope they will recover as I have earthed them up again. The white tent you can see are the Peas put in today, the Fleece will protect them until stronger & frost less likely.

Thanks for reading/returning. Ian.
