The snow peas are going mental, and flowering like crazy, and the broccoli has also started flowering which is great! I have had to keep a watchful eye on the broccoli though as the grey wooly aphids have made a comeback and like munching in the new growth. I have given them a good spray of EcoOil, and will continue to keep an eye on them to see whether they need another dose by next weekend.
The beetroots are also growing well. The seedlings in the planter are growing and I have also taken the seedlings that have sprouted out of the hothouse to continue growing in a more natural environment.
And we have baby mushrooms! It has taken, what, almost a month and a half, but we have the first signs of little white funghi in our shed! So exciting :)
All looking very green :)
Almost ready to pick!
Snow peas continue to grow and flower like mad.
The first of the Broccoli!
Beetroot are going well. I have also planted the last three Kale seedlings to see how they go. The companion planting herb containers are to be made this coming weekend - how cute are they! Dan has made one as a test and I think it looks great! It's just made from little offcuts that we had after making the timber containers.
The worms are almost ready to be transported to another section of their Worm Cafe. I'll leave them another week or two to demolish the last of the food in the bottom tray and then attempt to lure them into a new upper section.
The baby mushrooms! It looks like the plain button mushrooms have started growing which is very exciting :)
Wow. Its amazing the difference in just over a week since we were down. Well done Dan. Good idea attaching the herb containers to the side of the planter boxes. I wonder whether they will deter your neighbours' cat:)
ReplyDeleteHehe not sure it will do that, we just need to keep an eye on him the little bugger!
