Got away from work at 2, so went to the lottie and got the first sowings of Broadies in. Though they have been harden off over the last 2 weeks, I didnt fleece then, and last nights frost which was alot more severe than forecast has blacked the tips. I am not overly concerned because it will force out another shoot and bush the plant out. Saves me tipping (pinching the tip out) when they get to 12 inches.
I have cover them with some plastic hung over some bamboo hoops.
I took some pics of the red cabbage, Minicole, lettuces and the purple sprouting broccoli
these have come on well.
These are a bit leggy but I will pot on in 3 inch pots in the week.
This is the first time I have grown PSB, so have no refernce to see how they are performing.
These are the Lettuce sown in the art of sowing article. I am keeping them under a lid, inside the mini greenhouse.
The reason I made my beds 8 feet wide is I have a oak beam just over 8 feet so I dont have to tread on the soil. After letting the soil settle for a week, it is a case of a light raking and plant away.It is amazing how many large stones come to the surface.
You can see the before and after either side of the beam.
