I'm looking over...

We put in a decent shift down at the patch today, arriving around 09:00 and heading back home at 15:30.

I have sown red clover along six strips, each strip 24" apart. This is where we will be planting our brassicas. There is some evidence to suggest that brassicas grown within this surrounding foliage will become sufficiently camouflaged to confuse Cabbage Root Fly. This method is often used in organic agriculture. I am just trying it on a smaller scale.

Heather has planted a row of celeriac plants and sown a row of swede in our 'roots' beds.

We have also decided to sow borlotti beans again. After last years crop we decided that the effort was not really worth the returns, but the dried beans have been proving to be really nice in soups and casseroles, so we are growing some up a 'wigwam' and are going to grow some more up and over our mini-pergola.
