Planting completed!

Took advantage of the early summer heatwave today and managed to get all the beds planted up ahead of schedule. Seedlings that would normally be ready for planting out in June were bursting out of their pots, so I couldn't resist -- especially as it's my last day off for a while. And if the weather suddenly turns nasty and the more tender plants (courgettes, squash and aubergine) die - well there's plenty more where they came from in the greenhouse at home.

Planted in Year Six's bed:
Five dwarf french beans
Nine peppers (various types)
Planted in Year Five's bed:
Three aubergines
Six tomatoes (various types)
Six clumps of wild garlic donated by the Hopkins family.

Baki turned up with a massive tube of industrial adhesive and stuck the
greenhouse together, so with a bit of luck it won't fall part the next time it
has a close encounter with a football.


Speaking of balls, the veg was getting massacred by flying basketballs during the lunchtime break, but after a round of negotiations it's been agreed that the goals don't need to be quite so close to the veg garden.
Finished off the day potting up about twenty or thirty tomato plants, from small pots to quite large pots. I'm hoping to sell them at our plant/veg stall at the summer fair on 28th June, but with all this sunshine they are way ahead, and might be enormous by the end of June - and many will be be fruiting by then. So if you want to eat delicious, freshly picked, organic tomatoes at home, now's your chance. And it's all for a good cause!
