GYO April to Mid May 2020

I am sat writing this with a cup of tea as it is cold outside, the wind is biting and I was wearing my winter coat earlier.

So far my GYO has been going much better than last year, this in terms of actually starting veggies and getting things to grown, I hope this means we will get something to eat.

My carrots have not been that great and we only a few but they are growing well. The beetroots, onions and fennel all look excellent and are taking off. I have also sewn more beets, carrots and onions they are all starting to germinate. I have been more far more careful with my planting and things have increased space this year.




My mini greenhouse is packed with flowers and more veggies. The courgettes are strong and the sweetcorn looks good to go. I have a pepper which is slowly growing. Aubergine and Cucumbers have survived so far. I even have peas. 






One problem is the writing has rubbed off my plant labels - need to sort that ASAP



My lettuce has been doing well but I needed to plant more so will be getting bigger pots, Mr MC&W thought it was delicious. Its the first year I have had a successful salad leaves.



Looking at the weather forecast its warming up as of this weekend so think its time to get some of these into the big wide world.

    I don't know about yours, but my garden is crying out for rain. Sunshine is all very well, but plants need moisture too! You have lots of crops on the go this year, so by rights you should get a pretty good harvest.

Chicken burgers for the boys. Tuesday - Pinch of Nom Djon Pork with Mash again from Pinch of Nom. Boys will have pesto pasta.
