The weather was glorious didn't need a coat and got pretty warm digging. Had help this weekend. JB got digging and we successfully dug one new bed and started to clear the old raspberry cane bed which was completely over grown with couch grass.
Found a small slow worm basking in the sun but had to look it up to be sure what it was. I thought they were meant to hibernate so perhaps it is confused by the warm weather.
All the broad beans seem to be ok despite being nibbled by a few slugs and snails and some of the peas are evident. I'm definitely going to need to use some of those growing in the cold frame as there are quite a few gaps in at least 2 of the rows!!
We had a very exciting morning at Seedy Sunday at the Old Market in Hove. Wow so many people swaping and buying seeds, a lot of knowledgeable people too; felt very amateurish! Got some sweet peas seeds (can't only grow edible things) and some marigolds which are good to grow to distract carrot flies I think. Oh and had to get some Love in a Mist as it has such a great name - think its a good deterent for some bugs but can't remember what!
Managed to get husband, me and the babe all at the plot at the same time for just a few minutes yesterday! So we have a few more beds hoed, and some edged. Well Done Mr C.
