Big Gardening Weekend - The Results

Where does the time go? It didn't help that today was almost a complete washout... this is how I performed against the plan:

lettuce to sow - nope

lettuce to plant out - yes, a selection of little gem and reines de glaces now reside in the wicker bed

brassicas to plant out - sort of... well, 50% of the ones I intended to plant out have been; 2 romanesca nautalino, 3 flower sprout and 2 savoy cabbages are now in a raised bed. The rest are still in the potting shed.

tomatoes to pot on and/or plant out - yes, 4 moneymaker have joined a slangen longoda and a mini-white in the reusable growbags

chillies to pot on - yes, all done... no photos though.

sweet peppers to pot on - yes, all done and they are flowering / bearing fruit already

squash to pot on - nope, but on closer inspection they didn't need to be

melons to pot on - again nope, but didn't to be

courgettes to plant out - yes, the final all green bush is now planted outside. Had to dispose of one of the earlier ones though and I'm not sure if it was a tondo di toscana or a gold rush... as I only had one of each of these might have to resow a couple of each.

cucumbers to pot on and/or plant out - yep, see mini-white above... the other ones, marketmore, marketer and a gherkin aren't actually ready to go out yet.

peas and beans to plant out (and work out why some of the ones already planted out appear to be dying) - nope, urgently need to to this during the week, but the good news is the earlier ones seem to be perking up.

sweetcorn to plant out - yes, all done

a raised bed that needs clearing - yes, this is where the newly planted brassicas are.

a fruit bed that needs weeding - yes, and I also put down some straw to hopefully keep the remaining strawberries clean.

nematodes to spread... that will teach those damn slugs! - oh yes, all out war has begun.
