We planted more pumpkins & corn, potatoes, courgettes, peppers, & cabbages at the Hei.
We keep watering the plants in this dry period.
We placed wool around some courgettes & peppers to see if we can add value to this yearly ‘waste’ product of people with sheep.
We saved the seeds of winter purslane & corn salad for seeding later in the year.
We shuffled between the potatoes, beetroot, courgettes, radicchio, and carrots in the open tunnels
We thinned out the carrots.
We removed the plastic from over the seeded carrot bed & keep observing how covering the carrots will give them an advantage. Thanks Ole for the tip!
We harvest (&taste) the first juicy strawberries!
We harvested & cooked the kohlrabi spring harvest from the closed tunnels & note that planting cabbages too early in a wet period will attract too many slugs – how far back will we push the growing season with our changing climate?
We planted melons in the closed tunnels were there were gaps.
We guided & pruned the melons, tomatoes, & cucumbers.
We weeded the center beds of the closed tunnels.
We continue working on the little shop to be placed on the street.
We seeded more different types of Basil. Thanks Myrthe!
We mixed old pots of compost with fresh compost for when we want to seed again in pots.
We planted physalis in the open tunnels near the beams so that they can climb on the existing structures & create a root barrier between the weeds & the beds.
