Beans are out

I planted out the Hestia beans today. Only 2 of the Boby Bianco were good enough to go out with them. (left)

And five of the Meraviglia di Venezia have gone into a large pot with the obelisk to climb up. (right)

The other one has gone into the leek bed with a spiral stake to climb on. (It got eaten by slug/snails!)

The garlic chives are potted up now and sitting outside and the first two lovage are potted too.

A sunny spring day

Sowing seeds was my first job today. Radishes and garlic chives in the plastic bed, lovage and parsley in small modules and left outside, two types of basil and pak choy in modules in the conservatory and nasturtiums in modules outside again along with some chard.

Pak choy up on 26th March, basil on 28th, radishes on 1st April.

I also prepared bed 1 for this year. The seaweed and leaves was raked in, the whole bed was forked over to disrupt the tree roots which had grown. It was nice to see a few worms this time. The bed was dressed with 150g of lime and 200g of BFB, raked over and fork-smoothed.
