14 May 2011 - Planting Session

Got up to the allotment at 06:45 ready for a planting session.

Put in:

14 Runner Beans (not doing as many as lasy year - overrun with them)
2 Giant Pumpkins
29 Sweetcorn (most of them in bed 2 of bottom allotment, rest at bottom of top allotment next to beans)
5 Butternut Squash (2 with the sweetcorn, other 3 with the pumpkins. Used a good dollop of well rotted manure in the planting hole).
3 Courgettes
Planted bed 3 with pea and mangetout plants and filled rest of bed with a row of seeds

Took 2 of the 3 panes of glass off the potatoes in bed 8, left fleece on. Looking good - loads of flowers.
