September Update

The seeds I planted in tray last month; Coriander, Celery and lettuce; did not take. After checking the use by date on those seeds, I realised dad have given really old seeds. So a quick clean out of my seed tin and a trip to buy new seeds, planting got under way.

I redid the coriander only and ended up planting more pak choi, shallots, beetroot & cabbage. My perpetual spinach is thriving in all this sun. It is being picked daily. I have even had some of the broccoli (which turned out to be brocolini). I also planted Heartease (looks like a tiny pansy) edible flower, they just look lovely.

The corn seeds I planted are up and the corn seedlings previously planted are doing what corn do...growing.

It is getting close to ending the life of my sugar snap peas and seeing what I can get from the lower part for another couple of weeks.

The butter beans are getting there, they look good and healthy. I have added several lavender plants around the garden beds and the bees are loving it.
