We were offered, and have accepted, an additional 3 metres on the end of our existing plot. This has been rotovated, but we have no intentions of digging it over this season.
A row of Swede 'Virtue' has been sown, which will help suppress weeds and the crop can stand in the ground throughout the Winter.
Our Dahlias have been planted out in the 'extension' to provide us with cut flowers from late-Summer onwards. Alongside these we have sown a row of Sunflowers and a row of Helichrysum.
The remaining land was raked over and Red Clover seeds sown to provide a green manure which will be dug-in in Autumn prior to our preparing the fruit bush beds.
Some Savoy Cabbage 'Winter King' plants had been left out for anyone who wanted them and we decided to plant a row of these at the end of the plot where the Red Clover had been sown.
