Not much happened

Didnt get much done over the weekend due to deconstruction of old chicken run and weather, but sewed more lettuces and got 3 squash into the patch. Tomatoes are starting to flower. Must get seeds into the patch real soon, as the year is getting on a bit.

Was I too early?

Spend the weekend moving the 7 cabbage into the patch - found room amongst the other brassicas.  Was also given a load of sugar snap peas by my neighbour (thanks Vicky) - her mother had germinated what looks like a whole packed and passed on those she didn't want to Vicky who passed on those she didn't want to me (and I passed a whole tone back).

Two of the beans germinated - was it too cold overnights?  I've re-sewn a load in pots along with more cucumbers (coz only 1 germinated).  Lettuce should grow year round here so I'm trying to germinate seeds (18 in total).  Come Labour weekend it should be time for carrots and the multitude of lettuce-like seeds to be sewn directly into the beds.

Zucchini and Sunflowers

Zucchini don't like being constrained and they grow quickly.  So those that had germinated went into the patch - a total of 7 (I think).  2 of the sunflowers had germinated so they were transplanted at the same time.  The tomatoes I was given for father's day need to get planted into containers - I guess I'll have to get some tomato mix tomorrow.
