... and then it rained !

We've put in a really long shift down at the patch today and have now planted and sown everything we need for a Summer harvest.

• Tomatoes : Rutgers, Roma & Koralik 
• Squash : Uchiki Kuri, Black Futsu & Sunburst
• Courgettes : Bianco di Trieste & Jemmer
• Sweet Peppers : Rubens & Cabernet
• Chillis : Heatwave
• Sweetcorn : Seville F1 & Lark F1

We transplanted our Leeks (Bleu de Solaise) and have sown another row of Broad Beans (Aquadulce Claudia) which should be ready for harvest later in the year.

We had been concerned that the crops we planted would suffer in such dry weather... fortunately the rain started as we were planting and has continued all evening.
