Over the past week we have planted out 12 climbing French beans, 18 runner beans, and a block of 72 chitted sweetcorn seeds, spaced 15" apart.
We sowed more red spring and silverskin onions, four rows of swede and a row of almost out of date perpetual spinach seed. At home we planted some sunflower seeds saved from last year, and another 36 dwarf beans as only a few have survived a snail attack.
The soft fruit bed is infested with bindweed, dock, couch grass and other hard to get rid of perennial weeds so we mulched it with black plastic, leaving just the fruit bushes poking out.
Tried some green garlic. Mild, garlicky and very tasty. You can eat the whole plant. There are some baby broad beans and spring cabbage leaves. All but the last row of potatoes have come up and there are flowers on the peas.
