Luscombe Street - Week 6 Update

It was a very quick visit down to the plot on Friday afternoon as we headed away for the long weekend!  I very well earned and lovely break, but it meant the garden both at home and at Luscombe Street has been neglected a little this weekend :) So it's a quick update for this week!

 Root / Fruit Bed


The carrots have gone wild!  There are many, many seeds that have germinated in the bed, it will be interesting to see how many I will need to thin out.  It was a bit of an experiment to see how many would actually germinate - it seems that many have!


 Lots of little carrots and radishes!


 Legume Bed

The broad beans are doing wonderfully well as well.  It took them a little while to germinate, but since then they have just shot up so quickly and continue to do so.  I am really looking forward to heading out and seeing how much more they have grown over a week and a half.

Brassica Bed
 
The Brassica bed continues to grow.  It will be interesting to see whether any cabbage moth has come in to eat the seedlings over the last week.  As you will see, they have well and truly settled in at home which is really frustrating.  A bit of a challenge to figure out how best to deal with the situation!
