Cacti, Parsnips, Sweet Potatoes, Pruning, Wheel

Planting Bocking 4, New Mini Brassica Cage, Rain

Another break in the dismal weather on Thursday, so back outside for the afternoon. Just an hour of that spent sheltering in the polytunnel from rain. Still, got a few more jobs done, if not all I want to get sorted.

Greenhouse Interior

Nice Afternoon Out on the Plot

Last of the garlic planted, a few volunteer potatoes harvested, pH testing, tidied up in the greenhouse, clearing a tomato plant and more.
