Out with the Courgettes

It was July last year when I put the Courgettes out. This time it's the end of May.

But that's not the end of things we did on the plot. There were plenty of weeds around. Now you see them...

Now you don't...

That's the beetroot, red onions and what's left of the sprouts after the slugs got 'em. We'll be putting tomatoes in along side that lot in a week or two.

Meanwhile the Artichokes have decided to flower.

But like last year, the flower heads are infested with Black Fly (and Ladybirds).

Finally whacked down all the seedy spinach.

So we can now get a bit on sunlight into the greenhouse.

And stuff from the greenhouse now goes outside. Like a little Teddy Bear Sunflowers.

Which the bees love.

Oh, and did you notice the Grape Vine in the photo above. It's looking pretty good, with lots of bunches of grapes forming.

Back in the greenhouse, the Chilli plant needs to have a few chillies taken off it.

And finally, I planted some new seeds. These ones I really really hope will grow. As I sure could do with a cool one...
