Everything is doing great. The lettuce is going well in the Legume bed - the broadbeans haven't come up yet but I'm sure they will do in the next couple of weeks. Radishes are sprouting in the Root / Fruit bed, and the bok choy seeds are also beginning to sprout in the Brassica bed. We spread some parsley seeds across the plot along with coriander seeds in a few of the beds. Apparently they are a great companion plant for peas and beans so I made sure we put plenty into that bed!
Our neighbour Jill kindly gave us some horse manure that she had picked up from a farm closeby so I spread a fair amount of that around the beds as well. I'm sure the plants will appreciate that! The spring onions are still to be planted but that will be a job for next week :) Everything got a good water with Seasol as well.
The other cute thing that I put up were my homemade mobiles that made use of the offcuts from the plastic cup coloshes on the plants - you can see them dangling in the photos below. Hopefully they will keep the birds and things away!
