It has been raining a lot and the weeds are growing at a phenomenal rate. The ground was too wet for hoeing but we did some strimming and pulled up lots of weeds in the potato and onion beds. The damp weather has been good for the slugs so we put some more organic pellets on the brassica bed. We fed the maincrop potatoes with comfrey tea and thinned out the swedes.
It was too wet to plant anything this weekend but we sorted out the seed box and found some carrots, beetroot, peas and radishes that there is still just enough time to plant.
There is plenty of food to harvest and all of the crops are growing well. We gave the comfrey another cut and added it to the brew in our dustbin of comfrey tea.
