April 25^th - 30^th

What a great and productive week, The Beetroot seeds have been planet into the seed trays & are now in the green house, they have yet to sprout but im sure they will start in the next few days.

I started work on Plot 2 by removing last seasons swede & weeding the bed. I think the swede from this plot will be very “woody” at this stage as we had one a few weeks back and seemed very stringy and woody.

I managed to pick up a PH tester for the soil as I have not got one and a lot of advice websites were suggesting to make this as a good investment.

I also managed to pick up a few new seeds, One I have never heard of before.

Cucamelon, Sounds interesting? Has anyone had any experience with these…

 Also picked up some Beth Alpha Cucumber & Parsnip seeds.

During the week I was also able to help out a bumble bee that seemed to get trapped in the green house.

This little fella seemed to be exhausted so managed to mix up some honey & water and as you can see it was enjoyed very much.

I never knew bee’s had such a long tongue system WOW!

It was a real treat to see this little guy fly away after about 20 minuets of feasting.

I was also able to pick up some of the plastic ground sheet to make a start on Plot 1 and get the water system installed & covered, More on that this week if the weather is good :)
